Title: Just fine but not quite her best
Review: Ichiro and Reiko are back! Hirata-san copes with his injuries. And Hoshina-san seethes as ever. Yanigasawa is still in exile but his presence is everpresent.Others have dealt with the plot, so I shall not. It is as intricate and interwoven as ever, though a mite contrived in its conclusion. Also, as remarked by others, the language seems to have lost some of its Japanese-ness and some truly modern expressions and English verb constructions have crept in.But I ordered the hardcover as soon as I knew it was out; inhaled it whole on Friday night; and savored it whole again all day Sunday.You won't be dissapointed in this newest addition to the Sano series.Joe Dehais
