Full Synopsis
A hugely enjoyable classic Japanese mystery with an ingenious conclusion from the author of The Decagon House Murders, translated into English for the first time

Don't miss this beautifully constructed, highly entertaining and atmospheric murder mystery—its propulsive plot makes for a compelling listen.

As they do every year, a small group of acquaintances pay a visit to the remote, castle-like Water Mill House, home to the reclusive Fujinuma Kiichi, son of a famous artist, who has lived his life behind a rubber mask ever since a disfiguring car accident.

This year, however, the visit is disrupted by an impossible disappearance, the theft of a painting, and a series of baffling murders.

The brilliant Kiyoshi Shimada arrives to investigate. But will he get to the truth, and will you too be able to solve the mystery of the Mill House Murders?

"Shih's pleasant tone, attentive pacing, and straightforward narration ease listeners into the prose, which features abrupt, adjective-heavy short sentences." —AudioFile
