A "romance" book masquerading as a mystery, written (evidently) for adolescent girls? Mediocre writing masked and driven by action of violence and sex. ( ) Una luminosa mañana de septiembre de 1693, los habitantes de Tokio son despertados por la campana de incendios. El fuego ha prendido en una cabaña del Loto Negro, un templo budista situado en las proximidades del castillo de Edo, desde donde el sogún Tokugawa Tsunayoshi gobierna Japón. Y cuando una de las víctimas resulta ser el jefe de la policía, el caso recae en Sano Ichiro, el muy honorable investigador de sucesos, situaciones y personas. Another in the series of our Japanese detective from the Samurai period. I'm enjoying the series, though they move rather slowly. I can't imagine the pace any faster, as that wouldn't be true to the period, where everything involves ceremony, patience, protocol and more patience. I empathize with Ichiro's wife who simply chomps at the bit to be able to help in the detections, but can't. Women just don't do that. Oy. And when she does it anyway, she suffers the societal consequences, which is certainly accurate, but still irks me. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle Serie
In September of 1693, the Black Lotus Temple, spiritual center for hundreds of Buddhist nuns, monks, priests, and orphans, is burned to the ground leaving three dead and one orphan running for cover. Veteran samurai-detective Sano Ichiro, the Most Honorable Investigator of Events, Situations and People, is called on to investigate the incident. He quickly discovers that despite appearances, the victims did not die in the fire: they were brutally murdered before the fire even began. With a triple homicide on his hands, Sano's search for a killer leads him to Haru, the orphan girl found at the scene of the crime. But Sano's wife Reiko, investigating the case against Sano's wishes, is convinced of Haru's innocence. Reiko's investigation leads her behind the walls of the Black Lotus Temple. It is within these walls that she discovers a sect involved in extortion, prostitution, and hedonistic rituals. Could one of the sect's members be the killer? Will Reiko risk her marriage to Sano in order to prove Haru's innocence? Set in the luscious finery of the samurai court of medieval Japan, this latest installment in the best-selling series by Laura Joh Rowland, is filled with shocking surprises and suspense as readers are once again allowed access into the world of Sano Ichiro.
