Review title: Surely the Japanese don't talk like this!
Product review: How do I tell you how bad this book is? The dialogue is horrendous--sounds like it was written in Chinese, translated to Japanese, and then into English. The pathetic description blurs along until we come to the boring details of someone's designer outfit. Who cares? I made it through the first couple of chapters to the murder. I just could not waste any more time on it. The whole thing comes off like one of those old Godzilla movies, where the mouths keep moving long after the speaking has stopped. If you want a GOOD Asian mystery, try Colin Cotterill's excellent series.
