I am thrilled to be taking part in the Random Things blog
tour for Fish Swimming in Dappled Sunlight. I received a copy of this book as
part of the blog tour.
Fish Swimming in Dappled Sunlight is set in Tokyo and
follows a single night where Aki and Hiro have met up in the apartment they
shared until recently. Their relationship has fallen apart after a mountain trekking
holiday where their guide mysteriously disappeared and fell to his death.
They each believe the other to be the murderer and the
evening is filled with flashbacks running through their lives up to the fateful
day, but who really is the murderer and why did they do it?
I really enjoyed the way in which you get to see both sides
of the story and get into the characters’ lives. Despite taking place over just
one night in Tokyo, but the descriptions are so vivid and the environment so
intense that you feel like you have known the characters for years,
There are a lot of twists in this book that I did not see
coming and they are delivered in a somewhat subtle, manner of fact way, which
made it even more shocking for me.
This is the first book that I have read by Riku Onda and I loved
it. I will be ordering a copy of the Aosawa Murders to read straight away.
I highly recommend this, especially if you enjoy a gripping psychological
thriller.
