The Assassin's Touch

I have to say the same thing I say with all the books in this series: Fantastic! Well-written, great plots, love the characters, page turners. I can't stop reading them, but am so bummed when I'm done that the stories' over and I have to wait for her next book.

I love this series of stories of intrigue featuring a family as opposed to one individual. One does not have to read the books in the order in which they were written, but they are even more enjoyable if read in order.

Fantastic Item; Wonderful Condition; Very Heppy; Would do business with again; A+++++

This book is like all of Sano Ichiro other adventures. He starts out with no help and everyone trying to kill him.Ms Rowland way of writing is great. I have read all ten of her books about Sano Ichiro. The only thing that is bad, is waiting for Ms Rowland to come out with another adventure in his life. To bad they can't make a movie about him?

Laura Joh Rowland is an exquisite writer, providing wonderful detail of medieval Japan. At the same time that we are learning to appreciate the beauty of the plum blossom, we are also witness to some of the goriest killings in all of literature. I have become addicted to this series--you can tell, when you start buying the hardcovers instead of waiting for the paperbacks. I have trouble just waiting for the next Rowland to come out. This is a great series, suspenseful, exciting and, at the same time, educational. Highly recommend.
