The decagon house murders6/24/2023 If a book is set on an island, or has a limited cast of characters, or involves people cut off from civilization without cell phones (avalanche-prone ski chalets are particularly trendy) the comparisons begin. Both of the shin honkaku novels I’ve read (including The Honjin Murders) are locked-room mysteries, and The Decagon House Murders was clearly riffing on Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None.įor some reason, almost everything in the mystery genre is being compared to And Then There Were None these days. This novel was written by Yukito Ayatsuji and published in 1987, an exemplar of the shin honkaku genre of modern Japanese mysteries influenced by the golden age. They’re camped out in a small ten-sided house, the only building still standing after a mansion on the island burned down during the previous crime. A group of university students, members of their school’s mystery club, spend a week on an uninhabited island, the scene of a gruesome murder-suicide the year before.

Despite a number of difficulties, the project was of value for the collaborators. They analyze the reasons for this, and conclude that the content of their conversation mattered less than the form in which it was delivered. In this instance, the Canadians, despite their positional advantages, experienced little power in the planning of the research, feeling themselves as a burden rather than a boon at many points during the process. The literature warns of the difficulties of collaboration and the dangers of power imbalances that are positional, procedural and representational.

When white settlers encroached on Cherokee land to grow cotton and search for newly discovered gold, the United States ordered the Cherokee to join the Creek, Seminole, Choctaw and Chicksaw tribes in resettling to present-day Oklahoma. The Indian Removal Act signed by President Andrew Jackson in 1830 authorized the federal government to relocate tribes within state borders to unsettled land west of the Mississippi River.
