Blade of the Samurai by Susan SpannMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Having only read one or two mysteries prior to beginning Susan Spann's Shinobi series, I had no idea what to expect. Now, I am a huge fan! Masterfully interweaving the deeply textured 16th century Japanese culture with the subtly and intrigue of a murder mystery, Blade of the Samurai draws readers in from page one and holds on relentlessly until the last page is turned. The first book in Susan's series, Claws of the Cat, hooked me instantly with its marvelous characters and rich world, and Blade of the Samurai kept me on the line. With a promise of more to come in next year's release of Flask of the Drunken Master, I am truly a diehard fan.
Exciting news! Susan will be here on Monday to tell us what it's like to be a master of mysterium tremendum and share a little about her Hiro Complex. Don't miss it!
