This is the eleventh book of the Sano Ichiro mysteries. The setting is Japan during the edo period (around 1700 ), Sano is a police officer in the beginning of the series but rises higher and currently is the chamberlain. He solves crimes together with his wife Reiko (and some friends, mainly a guy named Hirata, from the police). I love all the books, mainly because of the setting. They are interenstingly written and the characters are nicely portrayed too. The eleventh book of the series is about a murder of a daimyou. Reiko, Sanos Wife, is found next to the body and can't remember a thing. Sano is trying to believe her story but there are several other stories from different characters, all of them saying something different about the murdered daimyou and the reasons why he was murdered and the murderer. It was exciting as always to see Sano struggle through all this, even though Reiko got a bit annoying (i liked her before). It was also a bit strange to see Hirata beeing SO different from the other novels. He is learning a super-sekrit ninja technique and couldn't concentrate on his police work and made a lot of mistakes. I know the authors reason was to give Hirata some kind of strenght again after his bad leg injury in earlier books but the 'secret technique' came across as too mystery-like. Even though, of course, Hirata saves them with the techniqe in the end. I liked him better in the other books though. The thing i loved most was (sadly?) the part where Yanagisawa, Sanos former BIG enemy and former chamberlain, got back to Japan (after beeing banned to an island for treason)! Even though he is the 'villain' (maybe just on the other side of Sano though he has a really mean streak sometimes), i like him. In the end, it wasn't a totally surprising book but it kept me reading because i wanted to know which story was the true 'murder-story' and if Sano and Reiko would really escape death... again (it#s a BIT unbelievable that Sano is close to dying in EVERY novel and ALWAYS gets treated badly by all the big guys in the country ;_; )
