good book.. Interesting ending, I liked it a lot. Lots of culture in it there's a few things about japense history. I would recomend it. But it can get a bit graphic, still, worth the read.

This book is very good. It had a really strange ending,though. It is definetly not a ghost story but has a lot of history from Japan. I would highly reccomend reading this book.

I'm not the biggest fan of these types of book, but I enjoy reading this. I think it could be written as if the reader wasn't in second grade, but the overall plot and characters are fun and interesting. If you like easy books, this one is great.

This book was very good in my opinion. It had an interesting plot and once you think your at the end everything resolves something else happens. Its based off of something that really happened. Its a good book if you want to learn a little about japanese culture around the 1840s. Overall it was pretty good

Well, I thought that this book was a little too short. It was like a mystery that kept on getting solved and unsolved. That kind of confused me.

You may have noticed that this is the first book in a series which involves the main character, Seikei. He and the judge are involved in several more mysteries!
