The Demon in the Teahouse

(2) 4-6 The sequel to The Ghost in the Tokaido Inn finds Seikei (now adopted by the Sherlock Holmes of Japan, Judge Ooka) solving another case, this one involving mysterious fires and deaths, all of which seem to lead to a famous geisha. Details of Shogun-era Japan are seamlessly woven into a gripping story. Though the resolution is less satisfying than in the first book, the fast-moving plot and a perfectly evoked setting easily carry the novel.
