Review
Praise for Akimitsu Takagi
"A delightful, different book, not only because of its unusual setting and premise, but because Takagi is a powerful plotter and constructor of fascinating, complex characters. Introducing American audiences to great foreign mysteries (as well as unusual domestic voices) has become a Soho Press trademark, and almost everything in its catalog is top-notch. "The Tattoo Murder Case" is a high-water mark even by those high standards."
"The A.V. Club"
Clever, kinky, highly entertaining . . . I want more.
"Washington Post Book World"
Elegant.
"The Seattle Times""
Praise for Honeymoon to Nowehere
Forces readers to examine uncomfortable issues about themselves: What would I have done in her place? Could I have resisted that temptation? . . . A remarkable achievement.
The Washington Post Book World
Takagi's masterful psychological portraits here recall those of Patricia Highsmith or William Irish in their depiction of individuals enveloped by intrigue that threatens to destroy them . . . State Prosecutor Saburo Kirishima must use all his subtlety to untangle the strands of jealousy and greed that have made Etsuko a bride and a widow on the same night.

Synopsis
Etsuko has fallen in love with a shy, studious lecturer at a university. But she has to tell her parents she's pregnant to force their agreement to her marriage. Their objection is to the rest of her fiance's family: his father was a war criminal; his deceased younger brother, a murderer. His only respectable relative is a research chemist who says he's too sick to come to the wedding. And then the groom is called away on the first night of the honeymoon by an urgent telephone call. His body is found the next morning and State Prosecutor Krishima must discover who killed him, and why.
