About this listen

Winner of the 2024 Discovery Editors' Choice Award

When a supposedly cursed traditional Japanese instrument arrives at the British School of Kyoto, strange things start to happen. A phantom geisha haunts the halls, a star student vanishes, and cryptic symbols appear across the campus.

For Jessica Hunter, a seasoned globetrotter trying to adapt to life at BSK, the eerie events are more than just schoolyard rumors. Teaming up with Kenta Higashi, a local boy with his own connection to the missing student, Jessica suspects a sinister force is at play.

As they investigate, they uncover a web of secrets, lies, and a vengeance plot tied to the instrument's shadowy past. Can Jessica and Kenta unravel the truth behind the curse before it claims another victim? Or will they become the next targets of its wrath?

I am fascinated ny Japanese history and culture and bought this by mistake.

For me this is more teenage angst than Japanese mystery. If you enjoy rites of passage and teen culture then this may be for you; if you are wanting murder, mystery and/or thriller set in Japanese culture then I cannot recommend.
