"When a body wrapped in a blue plastic tarp and tied up with twine is discovered near the bushes near a quiet suburban Tokyo neighborhood, Lt. Reiko Himekawa and her squad take the case. The victim was slaughtered brutally--his wounds are bizarre, and no one can figure out the "what" or the "why" of this crime. At age twenty-nine, Reiko Himekawa of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police's Homicide Division is young to have been made lieutenant, particularly because she lacks any kind of political or family connections. Despite barriers created by age, gender, and lack of connections, she is mentally tough, oblivious to danger, and has an impressive ability to solve crimes. Reiko makes a discovery that leads the police to uncover eleven other bodies, all wrapped in the same sort of plastic. Few of the bodies are identifiable, but the ones that are have no connection to each other. The only possible clue is a long shot lead to a website spoken only in whispers on the Internet, something on the dark web known as "Strawberry Night." But while she is hunting the killer, the killer is hunting her ... and she may very well have been marked as the next victim"--… (meer)

Oh, for the love of reason, this is the most overblown sexism I have encountered in ages. You can't go a page without a gross violation not just of basic respect or morality, but also law. Like I don't believe for a minute everyone gets away with this on a daily basis. I can see I'm not the only one whose reading was spoiled by this. For those wondering if it's a cultural thing... no. It's that all the characters are poorly written. They have over-the-top reactions to show you who is Good and who is Bad and what is Dramatic, because there's no other development or indication of these things. All in all it makes for an irritating read and wholly overshadows the story itself. ( )

Reiko Himekawa is a young, ambitious Homicide lieutenant who has a habit of using intuition instead of hard graft to close her cases. That, her age and her gender make her the target of much jealousy.

Reiko finds her hands full with the discovery of a body near an industrial pond. The body has been slashed, repeatedly stabbed, eviscerated post-mortem and then dumped in a hedge. Puzzling over the forensic report, Reiko has a flash of inspiration and the police soon realise that they have a spate of serial killings on their hands.

Reiko's investigation is dogged by the antagonistic Lieutenant Katsumata who does everything possible to disrupt her progress and undermine her. She is also held back by the more conservative elements in the task force, who are reluctant to trust her judgment. Reiko must also deal with personal issues, both now and in the past, that are coming back to bite her.

This was a very good book with a few good twists that I did not see coming. Some of Reiko's colleagues were a bit annoying and two-dimensional, but this series shows a lot of promise, along the lines of something like a Japanese Martin Beck. ( )

When a body is discovered wrapped in blue tarp Lt. Reiko Himekawa and her team investigate. Whether the attitudes of the characters, and the process of the investigation is truly Japanese I don't know but I didn't like either. I find quite a lot of the writing stilted, whether this is the writing style or translation problems is also unknown. ( )
