Murder Editorial Review
**** The Decagon House Murders by Yukito Ayatsuji stands out as a compelling homage to classic mystery literature, masterfully weaving a tale that invokes the spirit of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. Set on an isolated island with a rich yet grim history, the novel brings together seven university students, all part of their school's Mystery Fiction Club, who unwittingly become embroiled in a deadly game as they attempt to craft their own stories while investigating a previous quadruple homicide. Readers have praised the book for its intricately Constructed plot and atmospheric setting, which effectively invokes the vibes of Golden Age murder mysteries while adding a contemporary twist. The English translation is fluid and engaging, helping to immerse readers in the unfolding drama. The clever alternation between the students' experiences on the island and with their peers on the mainland adds depth, creating a layered narrative filled with suspense and intrigue. Despite its strengths, some readers note that the identity of the killer may become apparent to astute mystery enthusiasts early in the story. However, Ayatsuji manages to compensate for this with surprising reveals that encourage rereading and deeper engagement with the text. The quirky character naming reminiscent of famous mystery writers could come off as pretentious to some, yet serves as an effective tool for distinguishing personalities in a book where understanding the characters is crucial to following the plot. Overall, The Decagon House Murders offers readers a thoroughly enjoyable experience, especially for fans of traditional mystery novels and puzzles. While it pays homage to its predecessors, it also revitalizes the genre with its unique Japanese flair. **
