Sinossi
«Una serie di omicidi su un'isola deserta. Perché no, non aspetto altro. Anzi, io assumerei il ruolo del detective. E voi?». Diabolico, ricco di enigmi e colpi di scena, un geniale tributo ad Agatha Christie. I membri del circolo del crime dell'Università K, cinque ragazzi e due ragazze, decidono di trascorrere una settimana sulla rocciosa isola di Tsunojima, al largo della costa del Giappone, dove sorge una stranissima casa con dieci lati. L'anno prima il luogo è stato teatro di alcuni sanguinosi delitti rimasti irrisolti. Quando uno dei giovani viene trovato morto nella sua stanza, i compagni capiscono che la loro esperienza con le trame dei romanzi polizieschi è l'unica cosa su cui possono contare per sopravvivere. Da questo romanzo è stata tratta la serie di manga "The Decagon House Murder", pubblicata in Italia da Star Comics.

❀ blog ❀ thestorygraph ❀ letterboxd ❀ tumblr ❀ ko-fi ❀ *yawn* The Decagon House Murders is a pale imitation of the novel it is trying to pay homage to. While by no means a terrible read, I found it to be boring and ultimately deeply underwhelming. As the self-proclaimed whodunnit enthusiast that I Leggi tutto
4.5 stars - I have a few misses on the pacing, but other than that, this is just candy for the mystery lover in me, particularly the isolated closed circle mystery lover that I am.
Bad things happen. Everybody dies. The flatness of the prose in this novel at first bothered me and then delighted me because it freed me from that somewhat squicky feeling I often have, when reading a murder mystery, that violent death should not be quite so entertaining. The characters here are no Leggi tutto
