Mas Arai explores these personal entanglements and uncovers truths some may have preferred to have left hidden. ( ) margitc | Apr 6, 2013 | Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.I think that Strawberry Yellow is my favorite one so far. Hirahara has evolved nicely as a writer and this mystery felt tight, and also read very smoothly. You have to love Mas, who exemplifies all that is good in that first generation of Japanese-Americans. The strawberry-related plot was interesting, educational, and relevant. I had a little trouble keeping all the characters straight at first, but after reading this book I am excited about seeing what Mas gets into next. (  ) hrabbit | Apr 4, 2013 | Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.This book was a little hard for me to get into because of the pigeon English dialect of the main character, as well as the frequent use of untranslated Japanese terms. However, once I got into the rhythm of the story, I found it compelling. Besides weaving a pretty good mystery, author Naomi Hirahara also has a lot to say about the alienation of "the other" in American society as well as the power of family, jealousy and friendship. After reading this book I want to try the other books in her Mas Arai series. (  ) etxgardener | Apr 2, 2013 | keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML:A new strawberry varietal has someone seeing red in this "intricate whodunit" featuring the curmudgeonly Japanese American gardener and reluctant sleuth (Kirkus Reviews). Hiroshima survivor Mas Arai first arrived in Watsonville, California in the 1940s. Now a semi-retired gardener living in an LA suburb, he returns for a cousin's funeral only to get entangled in the mystery of a young woman's murder. Was his cousin murdered, too? Mas has to figure out what happened, keep himself safe in the face of considerable peril, and uncover the mystery of a new strawberry varietal so important that someone just might be willing to kill for it. A skillfully plotted tale of family intrigue, revenge, and gardening that moves seamlessly between the past and the present, Strawberry Yellow is another outstanding chapter in an Edgar-Award winning series marked by "a shrewd sense of character and a formidable narrative engine" (Chicago Tribune). "Mas, less an amateur detective than a cranky, accidental one, is what makes the story work. His obdurance, his skill as a listener, and even his broken English are charming in a quirky, uncomplicated way." —Booklist. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
