A review by jameseckman
Summer of the Big Bachi by Naomi Hirahara

3.0

An interesting book, I would not really call it a mystery but more of a roman noir, though in later books it maybe that the Mas Arai takes on a real investigators role. An ugly tale of dark secrets from the past and present day disappointments, its not a happy read. The generation gap problems are so true, reminds of some of my friends. The author certainly captures an LA feel, I could picture in my mind many of the locations. A decent read, but I'll probably hold off reading more in the series until much later.
