Death on Gokumon Island
by Seishi Yokomizo
Death on Gokumon Island is the fourth of the Kosuke Kindaichi novels to be translated into English. This story takes place just after World War II when Kindaichi-san is sent to Gokumon Island by his dear friend Chimata. On his death bed, Chimata requests Kindaichi to go to his home and save his sisters from being murdered. Death on Gokumon Island contains family rivalries, theatricality, lunatics, and even pirates.
While this is the fourth novel to be translated it is the second chronologically but that does not matter if you have read the other three as they are standalone novels that do not require the others (except the first one) in order to read them. These translations are very good. Sometimes translations can be difficult to read but this has a very modern language feel to it.
I highly recommend this series of novels and look forward to the next one to be translated.
