冬季的河裡,出現一具浮屍,是一名年約三十的女子。
她的身上一絲不掛,而且臉上顯得十分平靜,絲毫沒有恐懼或苦悶的跡象。
但是女人決心投河自盡時,為什麼要脫光衣服?而且那身衣服就在她自己的屋裡。
她要告訴世人什麼?還是兇手故佈的疑陣?

茂七是一名經驗老到的補吏,負責追查本所一帶的犯案。
他首先面對的是一名年過三十卻仍乏人問津的挑賣醬油的女浮屍。當補吏懷疑是他殺時,她的老父親卻說:她不是自己跳河,而是那樣做著美夢被殺還比較幸福……

緊接著,神社裡躺了五條人命;他們都是流浪兒,從七歲到十二歲。是再也無法挨過寒冬而集體自殺?還是慘遭他人毒手?

茂七除了追查命案之外,還得處理出一千兩跟魚販買一條鰹魚的這種足以令人暈厥的怪事。究竟一千兩真正要買的是什麼?

十分驚艷!宮部阿姨的小說一向也不錯,但這一本超級討喜,說的是江戶時代捕快日常。除了可一窺當時江戶平民百姓日常生活,也可了解到時人的人、情、世故,充滿情味,偵探成份反而顯得不太重要了。期待北一捕快!

「擅於聆聽別人說話的人,多半是傑出的人。」
「最好多積陰德,規規矩矩做生意,對底下人厚道一點!」這是現代人,尤其是某自稱亞洲大國的所謂人民完全欠奉的!江戶人還值得多學習。
