我討厭的偵探

烏賊川市 #7

by Tokuya Higashigawa, 東川篤哉, 張鈞堯 (Translator)

「戶村流平怎麼了？死了嗎？」志木刑警率直發問。
「其實他撞到豆腐了。」鵜飼面色凝重地搖了搖頭。
很少人會撞到豆腐，不過無人起疑。看來原本就沒什麼人關心流平為何不在場。

年輕貌美的房東二宮朱美，住在自有大樓的頂樓，靠著房租收入過著優雅的生活……本應如此。

但是不知為何，她動不動就會被奇妙的麻煩事耍得團團轉，這一切都要怪樓下的「鵜飼杜夫偵探事務所」！收錄五篇發生在「烏賊川市」的精采案件，本日爆發爆笑的離奇事件也攸關偵探事務所的存亡喔！

About the author

Tokuya Higashigawa (1968–) debuted in 2002 with a novel that won him the Kappa-ONE Newcomers Prize in a contest open to the general public. Since then, he has concentrated solely on writing humorous mysteries, a genre that is not well established in Japan. With Nazotoki wa dina no ato de (The Riddle-Solving Can Wait till After Dinner), he became a best-selling author. Jokes and witty dialogue between unconventional characters are his forte, but his works are held solidly together by tricks of logic and well-conceived puzzles. Higashigawa has received praise from older mystery writers for his skillful reinventions of such devices as the locked-room murder and the dying message, and for his versatility in being able to craft novels that involve kidnappings, contract killings, and other daring crimes.

[Joseph Chung · Rating 3 out of 5]

一貫的攪笑，詭計卻不怎麼特別，輕輕鬆鬆的讀，倒也算是消閒佳品。
