The Demon in the Teahouse

Summary: Demon In The Teahouse earns 5 stars
Review: Demon In The Teahouse (the sequel to Ghost In The Tokaido Inn) again takes the reader back in time to Ancient Japan. Sekei returns as the adopted son of Judge Ooka. Sekei's dream comes true when he is adopted away from his Merchant Father, and to a samurai. This book easily matches the excelence of Ghost In The Tokaido Inn, and possible even passes that level of greatness. I loved this book because it really gives you a feel of Ancient Japan, and the book also has a creative mystery.

Rating:
Summary: This interesting mystery will keep the pages turning.
Review: The Demon in the Teahouse is the riveting sequel to the Ghost in the Taikado Inn. This book is irrisistable with the many suttle details all leading to different people. The books plot is seamless and all of the clues do add up in the end. I would recomend this book to anyone interested in historical fiction, mystery or suspense, or asian culture.

Before reading this book however I would recomend the Ghost in the Taikado Inn. This first book is also excellent and will help you understand everything in the second book.

Summary: Demon in the Teahouse
Review: The Demon in the Teahouse, written by co-writters, Dorothy and Thomas Hoobler, is a great, ancient Japan mystery. The book is filled with suspense like many mystery books, yet includes some hints of the life in ancient Japan. The story is about a former merchant's son, Seikei, who is adopted by one of the Shogun's officials, Judge Ooka. It starts out with him practicing his archery and being commanded to come to the capital to help with the mystery of a chain of arsenal attacks. He then is commanded to stay in the area and found more information about links that relate the fires. I liked this story tremendously because it included the genres I favored and I chose to read the book because it was a mystery.

This book is about Seikei, a fourteen year old son of a merchant. Seikei's greatest desire was to become a Samurai, but unfortunately he could not convert to that cast. So one day, Seikei proved that he was of worth. Judge Ooka adopted him as a son with the permission of his original father. Can you belive that your father would let someone adopt you? After Judge Ooka adopted him, someone starts murdering the geishas, the beautiful, mysterious women of Japan. Judge Ooka turns to his adopted son for help in solving the crime. Since he was determined to prove his worth, he poses as a teahouse attendant, and gathers information. To find out who was murdering the geishas, read this exciting, intriguing novel by Dorothy and Thomas Hoobler.

Some parts of this book are boring and others enhance you to keep reading. My favorite quote in this book is on Page 11. "The Flowers of Edo are blooming. Come at once with everyone available." This is my favorite quote because it is a creative saying meaning that the city is on fire. It was an old Edo saying.

My other favorite quote is on page 27. "Up ahead lay the region of marshes where 'the floating world' was." I also like this quote because it makes you feel that there is an island up in sky. It actually means highlands. This seems like an interesting way to talk about the mountains and hills.

My least favorite part of the book was when Judge Ooka was questioning a lady who sold top quality silk. I did not like this part because it was very boring. She kept interrupting his questions and drowning his voice out. Because of this, Judge Ooka thought she started the fire. But was he wrong? Read the book and find out for yourself!
