Unlike the previous books in the series where it takes place in the city of Edo, in The Snow Empress, the action happens in the northernmost island of Japan, Ezogashima. Imagine being in a strange place with a lord who has practically lost his mind over the grief of his murdered mistress, being held hostage with limited movement and freedom to solve the mystery, and trying to find your kidnapped son... Emotions are running high for everyone, and you can't help but feel like something bad is going to happen.

The latest installment, The Snow Empress of the Sano Ichiro Mystery Series by Laura Joh Rowland, will keep you on the edge of your seat! I bought the book in the afternoon, and I had to finish reading it in one sitting to find out what really happened even if I stayed up till 2 a.m. finishing it. It's an excellent read! I couldn't put the book down. It will tug at the strings of your heart.
