Status Updates From Ellery Queen's Japanese Mys...

So far so good. I read the first half of the stories before bed and (this is unusual for me) had a related dream.

Diary of an evil boy - short but so good. I like story that is straight forward but with a little twist that is so good.

Cry from the cliff - this is subtlely romanticism affair with the murder flairs.

I just finished the story ‘Devil of a Boy’ by Seiichi Morimura, and it is easily my favourite entry thus far. The twist was fabulous, and I was more emotionally involved with what was going on; all the other tales were written in more of a dispassionate vein, as if I was seeing something from more of a distance. But Morimura definitely brought me right in with the characters, including the ‘devil of a boy’.
