Two books I bought pre-Christmas. The Labyrinth House Murders, which I was really excited about, was disappointing. 😕 The third in a series, the mysteries have become formulaic & a bit predictable. Hoping The Black Swan will better - it’s my first Tetsuya Ayukawa mystery.

New translation of a 1988 classic Japanese mystery book. I love this brand of murder and mayhem for Christmas. #booksky #honkakumystery
