Yamada no Goji is a minor nobleman of ancient Japan who has lost everything - except a single purpose: keep a promise to the woman he loved. In order to fulfill his vow, all he has to do is fight a horde of demons and monsters, bargain with a few ghosts, outwit the sinister schemers of the emperor's court, find a way to defeat an assassin who cannot be seen, heard, or touched - and change the course of history. Fortunately, Yamada specializes in achieving the seemingly impossible, so he is sure in some way to succeed... if he doesn't drink himself into oblivion first.

The mystery and adventure are quite good, but what really makes the story for me is the setting. the story really wouldn't work too well without the setting, I believe. choosing Heian era over say Sengoku or modern Japan was a good choice. It sets a more mythical tone, one that lets the reader loose themselves in world where ghosts, yokai, ogres and spiritual barriers cast by priests are just as much a part of every day life as buying groceries or drinking tea.
I also have give applause to the narrator who did a FANTASTIC job! he brought the characters and setting to life and gave them all distinct voices and personalities. The ease with which he reads and the inflection he places on both English and Japanese words really make it pleasant of listen to as well as giving the impression he IS the characters.
If you're interested in a good mystery or supernatural adventure similar to urban fantasy like the Dresden Files I'd heavily recommend this book.

Yamada Monotagari, disgraced former nobleman turned working class hero, demon hunter, and drunk; along with his best friend and partner- the reprobate priest Kenji -find themselves pulled into a mystery and dangerous game of cat and mouse with a former enemy of theirs. An enemy who has grown far powerful in the shadows and now seeks not only revenge but the death of the heir to the Emperor''s throne!
Equally seeped in both historical accuracy and Japanese mythology, the novel seamlessly blends a mix of early Japanese royal political intrigue and supernatural horror. Richard Parks has easily brought to life - yet again- two of my favorite literary characters since Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson.
Credit has also got to be given to Brian Nishi's incredible narration- breathing life into varied cast of colorful characters- manz woman, child and yes, monster- and making each and every one of them distinct and whole unto themselves.
Honestly cant wait to download the next adventure and see what Yamada and Kenji are up to!
