A renowned Japanese honkaku (authentic/fair-play) mystery series by Yukito Ayatsuji, featuring eccentric, themed, and often isolated houses designed by a mad architect. The series focuses on complex puzzles, locked-room mysteries, and deductive reasoning, featuring detective Shimada Kiyoshi.

Note: The Fifth book is expected to come up by October 2026. As pagebound allows atleast 5 books, I have placed a similar book of a different author, in the collection.

Enjoy the Japanese House Murders!
