The Decagon House Murders

Written as kind of an homage to Agatha Christie's And There Were None, this is a similar kind of island murder mystery that was quite interesting and engaging throughout. I found the translation also to be quite well done, and finished the book in just a few hours. It's a well crafted mystery, with many similarities to the original but also it's own unique qualities. I also thoroughly enjoyed the concept of all the characters belonging to a Mystery Club and each having a nickname based on a famous crime fiction writer. Some of the characters did come off as peculiar, maybe even insufferable, but I was really not trying to connect to them much - I was only invested in what was gonna happen. And I definitely didn't see the culprit coming.

I don't read a lot of books in this genre, so I'm glad I picked a good one which entertained me for a few hours. If you are a fan of the original novel too, maybe you can give this a try - I feel you'll love it too.
