Title: SS Van Dine in Japan
Product review: This is a good straightforward locked room mystery. It is set in post war Tokyo, and was written in 1948. The odd world of full-body tattooing forms a backdrop.Aside from some sexual references (don't expect sex scenes) it is very like an old SS Van Dine mystery from the 20s (The Canary Murder Case presents a similar locked room puzzle). Not hard to solve but fun to read. A good light book for a few hours entertainment.
