Book Club - Decagon House Murders 📚

Ignore the venue! I will update when we get closer to the event.

Please try to keep your RSVP updated as much as possible so people have a chance to attend if they want. Currently we’re limited to 10 people.

At the last minute, this book pulled ahead in the poll! So we will be discussing The Decagon House Murders by Yukito Ayatsuji in our November meeting.

The Decagon House Murders is a milestone in the history of detective fiction. Published in 1987, it is credited with launching the shinhonkaku movement which restored Golden Age style plotting and fair-play clues to the Japanese mystery scene, which had been dominated by the social school of mystery for several decades.

Plot: Students from a university mystery club decide to visit an island which was the site of a grisly multiple murder the year before. Predictably, they get picked off one by one by an unseen murderer.
