Suicide or murder? Classic Japanes crime fiction over @ShinyNewBooks!

I have a new review up at Shiny New Books to share with you today, and it’s a book that for me is perfect summer reading!

What I’m Reading – Tin Can Titans by John Wukovits

The druggist must have liked building plastic models because he always had a large stock of ships, planes, and cars in stock.…
