Blue Light Yokohama

pick

I had some quibbles (some bits on Tokyo cliches) but Obregón has made tremendous first effort to capture the city. His passion shows in creating a serial killer thriller based on a true unsolved crime. And he‘s got the politics down, angst ridden inspector and new partner dynamics too. Now I can‘t get the song (book title) out of my head!

An atmospheric thriller that is haunting and unsettling. There is a sinister feeling throughout the read as Tokyo presents itself as a city full of paradox. Kosuke Iwata is a troubled police detective running from a past and is partnered with Noriko Sakai; mysterious, beautiful and full of dark secrets. Together they hunt a serial killer. A captivating debut. #Booked2018 #JapaneseThriller #Pop18 #favoritecolorintitle #FridayFlowersOnSaturday ðŸ˜œ

Just started this new to me #JapaneseThriller since my previous one (Malice) was a bail! I‘m only 40 pages in but already hooked. I am having difficulty keeping the characters & places straight ðŸ™„If it doesn‘t click soon, I may need to create a cheat sheet

emilyhaldi Bummer. Did you ever even try this one?

TieDyeDude I had a hard time with names when I started reading Out, but I was able to adjust fairly quickly

Out

Cinfhen I tried a different book by Murakami and could not get into it @emilyhaldi but Out sounds really good @GoodForCirculation and I‘m getting better with the names....

Norwegian Wood

BarbaraBB @GoodForCirculation @Cinfhen Out is so good! For the Booked2018 prompt I bought

Penance

Cinfhen Ooooh, that looks good @BarbaraBB I‘m really excited for the #JapaneseThriller prompt ~ I think we‘re gonna see some great new reads!!! 7y

Cathythoughts Sounds good. If a cheat sheet is a page with all the characters & who they are written down & consulted ..... well I am guilty almost all the time ( unless there are only 2 characters in a book ) ðŸ¤ 7y

A simple trip to the post office yielded this resultðŸ™„Library is next door to post office so I picked up 2
books for my #GARbingo and my book store is located across the street, so I had to stop in. There was some sort of deal, not sure exactly what but I ended up with the tagged book for free. And your packages are on their way @BarbaraBB @BookaholicNatty @kspenmoll @Elisa #HappyDay ðŸ˜Š

Cinfhen Chose this for potential #JapaneseThriller #FavoriteColorinTitle 7y

Reggie I love The Joy Luck Club. Read it in high school but defines a friendship for me in my early 20‘s. 7y

Reviewsbylola I just pulled Americanah off my shelves today. I hope to read it soon! Loved Joy Luck. 7y

ElishaLovesBooks Americanah is excellent! So well-written and gave me tons to think about! I also remember enjoying The Joy Luck Club a loooong time ago! Love that you can find all these English books- I know they are hard to come by in Israel! 7y

Cinfhen I‘m looking forward to reading both Americanah and Joy Luck @Reggie @ElishaLovesBooks @Reviewsbylola and since those 2 are library books I need to read them sooner than later! 7y
