reviewed A Death in Tokyo by Keigo Higashino (Police Detective Kaga, #3)

Keigo Higashino: A Death in Tokyo (Hardcover, Minotaur Books) 4 stars

Excellent version of a Sherlock Holmesian detective set in Japan

4 stars

More subtle than Doyle's Holmes, but in the same vein. An almost perfect combination of plot, character, and setting (being immersed in a culture different from mine is always fun) that never takes you out of the story with bad writing or outlandish plot points. Loved it - would have given it 4.5 stars if I could...
