The Decagon House Murders
by Yukito Ayatsuji
The Decagon House Murders by Yukito Ayatsuji--Renowned for basically reviving the murder mystery genre in Japan, this book is simultaneously a love letter to the golden age of detective novels and a bold step forward. The story focuses on a murder mystery fan club that chooses to spend a weekend at the site of a notorious murder. It's written well, jumping between the travails of the mystery club and the events of the original investigation. I really appreciated the ending, as multiple genre tropes are turned on their head. Thumbs up.
