Yesterday we spent the day exploring Bali (temples, rice terraces, volcano) - today we are spending our last day in paradise at the poolside reading! I‘m starting this one today :)
Tomorrow we are leaving for our final week in Lombok- which will be amazing but I will miss this forest view!

Ok @RaeLovesToRead , now that Thanksgiving is out of my system, let me deal with your questions.
1. I think the tagged book might be the only mystery I've read this year. ?
2. Found The Long Goodbye in a local used book store and am going to re-read (not sure if Chandler counts as "mystery", exactly).
3. I like locked-room mysteries, especially if they include a relatively plausible solution.
pickAnother slice of gritty, Japanese noir.
Things aren't looking good for Ichiro Honda. Women he's bedded and abandoned seem to be dropping like flies, and all the clues point to his involvement.
This one wasn't quite as good as The Master Key, but it pulled me into the nightlife of 1960s Tokyo with its effortless flow and smoky atmosphere. The story unravelled adeptly in a slow spiral.
Part-thriller, part-procedural, and part-mystery.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickThis seemed less like a mystery and more like a straightforward procedural...until the very end, that is, when things got flipped on their head. This is the second Togawa novel I've read, and they are the only two times I can think of that the ending to a mystery was both surprising and relatively plausible (I mean, still pretty bonkers, but the clues are all there if you're paying attention). Not quite Master Key good, but still fun.

She was on the second floor of the bar, seated alone in a box seat and gazing down onto the first floor.
Haven't posted anything in a while, as I've been visiting Japan for the past two weeks. I did manage to pick up the tagged book while I was there, and then returned home to find 'The Inugami Curse' waiting for me in my mailbox (which seemed rather ominous when I first opened the package, until I remembered that I had ordered it months ago and the shipping was delayed 😂).
Rachel, I don‘t even know what to say!?! You spoiled me with this supersize birthday book haul! 📚 Thank you so much for this extravagant gift. 💝 I‘m OBSESSED with this whale and tiger puzzle! 😍 I feel beyond blessed!! Thank you, sweet friend! 🥰🐾💜

New arrivals today... I felt a little short on Japanese mysteries and have heard nothing but good things about the tagged 🥰
Seated in the car as it sped toward police headquarters, a policeman on either side gripping him tightly by the arms, he looked back with nostalgia to the morning of the fifth of November when he had been awakened by somebody in slippers walking down the corridor outside. That was the day of the first murder, when his luck had begun to run out. What had become of the beautiful freedom that he had once so enjoyed?
