Title: What goes around comes around
Review: The main character isn't a detective but a survivor of Hiroshima, who with a small number of others went on to make a life for himself in L.A. He makes a living as a gardener, tending the lawns and shrubs of those living in the L.A suburbs. He doesn't believe in Jesus or Buddha, but Bacchi (`what goes around comes around').Set in the present day, he gets caught up in a story with roots back to Hiroshima and a childhood friend Joji Haneda.The story is a slow-burner. Good start, but many may have to persist to get through the middle section of the book because the pace doesn't accelerate. In fact, as another reviewer has commented, mixing Japanese words in disrupted the rhythm of my reading, as you 'stop' to work them out.However, if you persist, this is an enjoyable mystery- interesting context, well-drawn characters, well-constructed plot and a conclusion that invites reflection.
