Sobre este título
He’s not your average Grandpa.
As a lover of classic crime stories, it’s no surprise that schoolteacher Kaede encounters everyday mysteries more often than your typical twenty-seven-year-old.
Solving them is another matter, though. For that, she turns to her beloved grandfather, who retains a keen sharpness of mind despite his dementia, and who was once a key member of The Waseda Mystery Club. From impossible locked room murders to confounding missing persons cases, the grandfather-granddaughter duo "weave stories" to get to the bottom of every mystery. But all the while, an insidious shadow from Kaede’s past slowly closes in on her . . .
Steeped in references to classic crime from Christie to Chesterton to Poe, My Grandfather, the Master Detective plays with the genre, capturing readers' imagination in this Tokyo-set escapist mystery. Its charming characters and affectionate focus on relationships echo heartwarming Japanese titles such as Before the Coffee Gets Cold.
Resumo da Crítica
A Beyond the Bookends Most Anticipated Mystery of March
"Heartfelt and clever, My Grandfather, the Master Detective expertly weaves together ideas of family and loss alongside homage to classic detective fiction spanning eras and countries. It’s a set of perfectly balanced mystery vignettes that all build up to a satisfying conclusion, with wonderful friendships and a hint of romance woven in. An utterly delightful ode to the power of storytelling in understanding the curve balls life throws at you.” —Kristen Perrin, New York Times bestselling author of How to Solve Your Own Murder
“Before the Coffee Gets Cold meets Agatha Christie. Neither age nor a diagnosis of Lewy body dementia (LBD) can keep Grandfather from solving difficult cases. He’s as clever as Hercule Poirot and as observant as Miss Marple, a gentle, brilliant, and dynamic sleuth you won’t soon forget.” —Ellery Adams, New York Times bestselling author of The Secret, Book & Scone Society
“Konishi updates the century-old trope of the armchair detective in this debut, a collection of six interlinked short stories featuring a most unusual sleuth. . . Brain-teasing mysteries presented in something like a fairytale framework.” —Kirkus
“Konishi strikes a balance between the cozy mystery genre and the Japanese (and Korean) comfort novels in translation that are having a moment on the bestsellers’ lists . . . Much of the sense of calmness, control and, well, comfort, is down to the English translation by Louise Heal Kawai, who puts the reader at ease with her fluid translation.” —Asian Review of Books
“[A] gentle, puzzle-focused crime novel in the vein of classic detective fiction . . . The beauty lies in ordinary, complicated people figuring out how to live as much as how to solve crimes.” —Crime Fiction Lover
“Masateru Konishi has infused the fun and page-turning intrigue of a first-rate mystery story with profound filial love, respect, and compassion. A rare and multi-faceted mystery, My Grandfather, the Master Detective transcends genre. It’s guaranteed to delight and deeply affect fans of detective stories, readers seeking to explore the human condition, and everyone whose lives have been turned upside-down by this debilitating disease.” —Binnie Kirshenbaum, author of Counting Backwards
