No one new to the scene at all, but I only discovered his work only this year:
Japanese mystery author Akimitsu Takagi (1920 -1995).
I devoured The Noh Mask Murder by him in March this year.

The Noh Mask Murder | Akimitsu Takagi
post image
Pickpick

An old seaside mansion. Dark gothic atmosphere. An exotic setting. Sinister locked-room mystery. Depraved and broken characters. A public prosecutor in search of the truth. Unreliable narrators.
Japan, unsettled nation during the aftermath of WWII. Multiple elaborate murders. Elegant, refined prose. An outstanding translation.
...

Yuki_Onna Continued:
Eerieness creeps through the pages like the seaside mist underlying the story.
Historical murder mystery, social commentary, character study, domestic thriller, gothic literature.
Maybe the perfect book for the perfect time exists. The Noh Mask Murder has it all.
5/5⭐
