Death on Gokumon Island
by Seishi Yokomizo
The style of storytelling here grew on me with this one, and I found the end of the mystery great!
One thing in particular that I'm absolutely loving about this series is the cultural information regarding life for Japanese citizens and soldiers before, during, and after WWII. It's not hugely prevalent, but in each book the war has played a role in the setting, or the changing times and lives of whichever town it's set in. I never expected to encounter that in a mystery, and I would love for more mysteries like this to be translated in the future. I need to find them!
