The Decagon House Murders - Yukito Ayatsuji

A classic whodunit that pays homage to Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, this 1987 Japanese mystery novel from Yukito Ayatsuji is known for its intricate plot and clever misdirection. Why not join us for a lively discussion of a genuine cult classic - a riveting addition to your crime fiction reading list.

The lonely, rockbound island of Tsunojima is notorious as the site of a series of bloody unsolved murders. Some even say it's haunted. One thing's for sure: it's the perfect destination for the K-University Mystery Club's annual trip. But when the first club member turns up dead, the remaining amateur sleuths realise they will need all of their murder-mystery expertise to get off the island alive.

Praise from Publishers' Weekly: "Ayatsuji's brilliant and richly atmospheric puzzle will appeal to fans of golden age whodunits... Every word counts, leading up to a jaw-dropping but logical reveal." Publishers Weekly
