Three Tales of Love and Murder (Akitada Mysteries Book 6)

A better choice than Fox Magic for anyone wanting to try a taste before picking up one of the novels, but don't expect more than a cursory introduction to the character. This is a book that can be enjoyed by lovers of any genre of mystery. I love the ancient feel of the stories.

I would recommend this to all mystery lovers. I have read many of the Akitada stories and enjoyed them. This was a very short and unsatisfying tale. I will still read others in this series. We have read all the Sugawara books I found in the Kindle Store. We enjoyed all of them and are looking forward to the nextr installments. Sugawara is the most stupid,vain fellow I have come across in many a book, but he always seems to crawl out of the problem just in the nick of time.

I will say these books can keep one on the edge of their seat, and usually right in the middle of a particular intriguing page, the Kindle needs charging, but all in all the stories get read. We don't try to pronounce the names, just read on.

She cannot even get out of bed, and now he is doing what he can to get there. With the light going down getting in the way and then rain coming down ceaselessly forcing him to pause and take shelter, he is not making the time that he wants.

The detective is forced to shelter in a temple. There he cannot sleep and constantly tosses and turns, a hell screen that is brightly illustrated paired with a cry making it impossible for him to sleep.

Akiko got married to a man named Toshikage, a rich nobleman.

He feels confident in the fact that his sister is doing well. His sister wants him to clear the name of her husband and start an investigation.

That is when he finds out that when he was at the temple, the scream was due to a woman being murdered.
