Extraordinary detective Daidoji Shin returns, in a wonderful locked-room murder mystery like no other, in this lively novel from the epic fantasy world of Legend of the Five Rings
Opening night at the Foxfire Theater is set to be a huge success for Daidoji Shin, amateur detective turned theater impresario. The City of the Rich Frog's leading lights are all there, but even as the performance begins, the Three Flower Troupe's new lead actress is found dead backstage—and everyone in the venue is a potential suspect. Shin has only until the curtain falls to find the killer. But the clock is ticking and Shin can only hold the great and the good hostage so long. As the night wears on, the chance of the murderer escaping justice grows ever more likely.

Investigating a murder whose existence can't be admitted, whose suspects are a mix of actors who are trained to present a false face and political powers who can't be insulted with impunity, and which must be solved in a limited time is a tightrope walk. And on the floor below that tightrope is a Crane clan auditor just waiting for a a fall. Reynolds walks that tightrope very well.
The mystery is entertaining and the resolution is satisfying, though the denouement is a bit disappointing. The various characters are drawn well, and we get to see members of several different clans deeply involved in the mystery.
Functionally, this is a traditional mystery, with a limited selection of suspects, and it's done very well. Recommended.
Strong Traditional Mystery
