I am not pretentious enough to offer suggestion for the author to have done thing differently, although, while reading this book, I kept wishing that Professor Barrett had produced a different book.

Stuhr Iwabuchi
Publisher: Kodansha

ISBN: 978-4-7700-3104-4
On the cover of the book, we read that the New York Times Book Review says of the author:"Miyabe forte is suspense" while Kodansha, the publisher, boasts that she is "Japan's #1 Bestselling Mystery writer." They both know what they talk about and Miyabe, indeed, deserves to some extent the commendations. She proves it in the Sleeping Dragon under review here....

I left this book with a weird mixed impression. I wished I had not read the appendix and had remained instead with the anticipated eagerness when I encountered this terse yet forceful sentence:" My name is Esther and I will be queen."
