This is the second Nakamura I’ve read, this one about a writer trying to write a book about a double murder and finding himself in far deeper than he counted on.

Nakamura’s writing style is pensive, spare, and introspective. The plot is fairly lean, getting you from point-to-point effortlessly. It’s a very solid little crime thriller, and I’m looking forward to reading more of his.
