Awesome awesome awesome!! I loved this book. I've always wanted to learn about the old Japan, and reading this book, Shinju, not only taught me quite a bit about the Edo Period Japan, but it alos satisfied my wanting to read a good mystery too.

Shinju is the first book by Laura Joh Rowland that I've read, and I look forward to reading the rest of her Sano Ichiro series.

I recommend this book to anyone who loves mysteries set in foreign locations, and wouldn't mind figuring out what some of those foreign words mean.
