The Kamogawa Food Detectives

Holly says: "So many urban stories in Japan are set in Tokyo, so this delightful cozy set in Kyoto was a nice departure. Reader, beware: reading this book will make you hungry (and likely to start googling all sorts of ingredients and recipes). Unlike cozy detective stories that feature a crime or murder, this collection of mysteries centers on food. When customers come to the Detective Agency in search of long-lost or nearly forgotten meals or recipes, retired police detective Nagare and his daughter Koshi hunt down the missing pieces and present their clients with the meal they’d been searching for. I devoured this sentimental read that speaks to the power of food and drink to evoke memory, and can’t wait to read more books in the series."
