In need of a new murder mystery podcast? We were too when we found Caroline Crampton's incredible Shedunnit, a series of essay-like journeys through the mystique and history of the mystery genre. Coincidentally, Caroline's own journey took her to Japan and the Honkaku, or 'traditional' school of murder mystery at the same time we were, and we are super excited to present to you this engaging episode about it here on Death of the Reader. You'll come away a wiser reader with every episode of Shedunnit; this one features a discussion with On Nomoto, the grandson of Seishi Yokomizo, and Daniel Seton, the powerhouse behind Pushkin Press' Pushkin Vertigo imprint, both of whom were instrumental in bringing stories like The Honjin Murders to English speakers. Our enormous thanks to Caroline for talking with us, and letting us feature this fantastic episode here on your Murder Mystery World Tour.
