The Mantis, by Kōtarō Isaka

3 stars

Kōtarō Isaka continues his tales of Japanese assassins in The Mantis (impeccably translated by Sam Malissa), after Bullet Train and Three Assassins. So far, these books don’t have to be read in any particular order. Characters might refer to events in other books or make cameo appearances but each book in the series has featured its own unique protagonists. In The Mantis, our protagonist is Kabuto, a man living a double life as an assassin and a humble salesman who only wants to make his wife and son happy...

Read the rest of my review at A Bookish Type. I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley, for review consideration.
