Death Note: Another Note (Novel) by NISIOISIN - Very fun!

Theres a serial killer on the loose in Los Angeles and the local authorities need help fast. For some reason the killer has been leaving a string of maddeningly arcane clues at each crime scene. Each of these clues, it seems, is an indecipherable roadmap to the next murder.

Onto the scene comes L, the mysterious super-sleuth. Despite his peculiar working habits - hes never shown his face in public, for example - hes the most decorated detective in the world and has never tackled a cased he hasnt been able to crack.

But this time he needs help.

Enlisting the services of an FBI agent named Naomi Misora, L starts snooping around the City of Angels. It soon becomes apparent that the killing spree is a psychotic riddle designed specifically to engage L in a battle of wits. Stuck in the middle between killer and investigator, its up to Misora to navigate both the dead bodies and the egos to solve the Los Angeles BB Murder Cases.

Very fun!
I recently picked up this book after suffering Death Note withdrawals, having finished the anime a few weeks ago. I've only read a few translated 'anime themed' novels and I wasn't very impressed, but this one was much more fun!

The writer has a wonderful sense of humor, and while the theme of the story is a dark set of perplexing murders, a lot of the dialogue and descriptions of events made me laugh out loud. A perfect mix of engaging mystery and comedy, I think. ( The poor victims' names didn't seem to bother me like they did some reviewers. I particularly liked Blackberry Brown. :P )

If you're a Death Note fan at all, this is a must read. I read this in one sitting and I have to admit, the ending was a surprise! All in all a very entertaining read and an insightful look into the pasts of L and Naomi.
