LA PEQUEÑA HABITACIÓN DE LOS MISTERIOS

The novel that has moved thousands of readers. Winner of the Japanese Booksellers' Award: the ‘This Mystery is Amazing!’ Prize. “A gripping mystery with a unique sensibility. It is not only a fascinating mystery novel, but also a moving exploration of memory and identity.” The Japan Times. The best stories are the ones we can share. As a lover of classic crime stories, it’s no surprise that Kaede, a twenty-seven-year-old teacher, encounters everyday mysteries more often than most people. Solving them, however, is another matter, and the person she always turns to for guidance is her beloved grandfather, who, despite suffering from a form of dementia, retains a sharp mental acuity. From impossible murders in locked rooms to baffling cases of missing persons, the granddaughter and grandfather, like apprentice and master, form a team that “weaves stories” to get to the bottom of various cases. Meanwhile, a shadow slowly looms over Kaede, posing a more insidious threat.
