Welcome to Litsy!

Poor Teiko! She gets married and immediately her husband disappears. She‘s not a detective, but she sets out to find out what happened to him, enlisting others for help along the way. It‘s a good mystery, and I enjoyed watching one ordinary woman piece together the timeline of events to come to a conclusion. Beautifully descriptive of several places in Japan.

@BarbaraBB @Cathythoughts You guys were right on the money with this one!

3.8/5 🌟

A woman marries a man, but soon after, he disappears, and she sets out to find him. This was a solid 4-star read, but unfortunately, the last 20% became repetitive. Overall, I still enjoyed it!

Thank you @BarbaraBB for posting and reviewing this book. I also loved the atmosphere of it. Set in Japan 1958. A thriller/crime story that kept me hooked from beginning to end. I loved the mysterious nature of it all, the characters, and the snow ! I‘ll be stocking up on all books I can find by Matsumoto.

A great crime story for everyone interested in Japan and Japanese culture. Written in 1958 it‘s right after WWII and Japan is dealing with a dark past. A woman marries but within a month her husband goes missing. She travels by train through the country, looking for clues. Everyone is polite, everyone is calm but oh, beneath the surface! Loved it - especially for its atmosphere!

I am about to start Poor Deer of which I‘ve heard so many good things. The tagged one is a classic Japanese murder mystery. I‘ve been curious about that one!
