Highly recommended! 2) Masks by Fumiko Enchi Masks – One of my favorite crime & mystery novels. If you want to reveal all the mysteries of these two stories, you better read the book here. There are twists & turns, surprises, unusual things to be happened and etc. This is a perfect tale of obsession and revenge. While on the other hand, Best in the shadow story is a suspenseful story of two writers and a woman. You would find him with a beautiful woman who happens to be the main criminal of the story. He plays the main role in the story of The Black Lizard and Beast. This is the character of a Japanese detective created by mystery writer Rampo Edogawa. When I was a teenager I was a big fan of Kogoro Akechi. He is seen to be the father of the Japanese detective story. Have you ever heard of a name called Rampo Edogawa? In fact, that’s a nick name and his real name is Hirai Taro. WHAT?! 1) The Black Lizard and Beast in the Shadows by Rampo Edogawa The Black Lizard and Beast in the Shadow. Finally, I would like to tell you that the books you are going to read from this list would entertain you as well as horrify you even more.
I hope you don’t bother learning something unusual or even usual from these books given below. And when it comes to learning about Japan and its culture, you definitely have got to read books of different genres. The more you read the books published by Japanese authors the more you understand the nature of Japanese literature. I believe they are the best Japanese crime mystery books ever published in Japan. To me they are unique, easy to read and there is something hidden to be explored. If you like reading this genre book where you find the words such as crime, mystery, detective, police inspector, cruelty, murder, alibi, and suspicion, I hope you would like to read a list of Japanese mystery books.
I assume you probably have your favorite type of book as I have. What about you? In fact, reading any kind of books is my hobby along with traveling elsewhere. I read a lot of Japanese crime & mystery related novels.
