Listened to the audiobook and rated it three stars.
Not sure if my rating system is fair for audiobooks since it takes me so long to listen to one when I exercise. I guess I should exercise more often?
Good story, but seemed to get bogged down in the details. Since this was the first story in a series, the author may have been level setting, but I am not sure I will read/listen to the other stories in the series.

One of the best in the genre I've read till now
Everything you need for not going to bed is in this book
Above all it brings Japan way of thinking nearer to me as european,but Japan still is a book with many seals during my business time I did several trips to Japan had I had Tokyo Black at hand at these times I would have understood part of their way of thinking
Looking forward reading Thomas Caine #2
Chapeau Monsieur Warren for bringing Tokyo Black to paper ...more
