**One of the 20 of the Best Classic Murder Mystery Books of All Time from Town & Country Magazine**
“His celebration of traditional whodunits plays with the mystery genre in a wonderfully self-referential way… With each new murder, the remaining members of the group must use their knowledge of the genre to find the killer and try to stay alive.” — Esquire, The 50 Best Mysteries of All Time
“A terrific mystery, a classic of misdirection very much in the manner of Agatha Christie or John Dickson Carr'” — Washington Post
“Behold, the perfect escapist drug! If I could crush this book into a powder and snort it, I would.” — Vulture
“A real page-turner… Highly recommended” — Classic Mystery
“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 (starred review)
“A stunner of a plot, with an ending which I simply could not believe when it was first revealed… Rivals Soji Shimada’s The Tokyo Zodiac Murders for sheer audacity and ingenuity” — At the Scene of the Crime
“A knowing tribute to classic crime, it features all manner of puzzles, including locked rooms, jigsaws and magic tricks.” — Mark Sanderson, The Times
“highly ingenious” — Laura Wilson, Guardian
“The Decagon House Murders, is a thrilling homage to Christie’s And Then There Were None, following a group of amateur sleuths on a trip to a lonely island, the site of several unsolved murders. In the opening chapter, one character remarks: “Enough gritty realism please! What mystery novels need are a great detective, a mansion, a shady cast of residents, bloody murders, impossible crimes and never-before-seen-tricks played by the murder.” It’s impossible not to agree.” — The Guardian
“Aimed to be a murder mystery that readers can solve as they read, this book is gripping and has fun bits such as characters having nicknames based on American and European mystery writers, and of course, maps!” — United by Pop
