The Decagon House Murders by Yukito AyatsujiMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
From the get-go, the premise of this story might seem a bit contrived, but it is made quite interesting. A group of detective mystery buffs decides to spend a week on an island where a string of murders had occurred. Being part of a club for mystery buffs, they take on the names of detective novel writers (Ellery, Agatha, Leroux, Doyle, etc.), which is a nice way of distinguishing the characters from the start.
I enjoyed the twists and turns, the multiple narratives (just depicting the island would have been too heavy), as well as the ending, which had me turning back to previous pages to see how it all worked.
I look forward to reading more by the author.
