In an adventure filled with highway bandits, unscrupulous politicians, and renegade monks, The Dragon Scroll introduces readers to the lively world of eleventh-century Japan and an irrepressible hero--Sugawara Akitada.

Shinjū av Laura Joh Rowland (LongDogMom)
LongDogMom: The Sano Ichiro historical mystery series set in the 1700s in Edo, Japan is similar in style if you enjoy Parker's Akitada series then you will probably enjoy Rowland's series as well. Best to read the series in order as Sano's life and career evoles throughout the course of the books in addition to the individual mystery he is working on solving within each novel. This is the first in the series.… (mer)

Sugawara Akitada, jeune fonctionnaire noble, est envoyé dans la province de Kazusa pour enquêter sur la disparition des convois d’impôts. Un roman policier et historique qui emmène le lecteur dans un univers méconnu, le Japon du XIe siècle. L’intrigue, de prime abord simple, est compliquée par le grand nombre de personnages, mais réserve des surprises. La postface qui explicite le récit historiquement est bienvenue mais aurait pu être présentée en préface pour plus de clarté. Le premier volume d’une série à suivre cependant. (

I was intrigued by Parker's mysteries set in medieval Japan - a place where my reading has seldom taken me. Sugawara Akitada, a lowly government official was sent on an impossible mission because he was expendable. This had a good plot with lots of action, delightful characters, and unexpected humour. (

The likable but not yet ept Akitada, is in way over his head but determined to do his best. He has a lot to learn, but being smart actually does, mostly. Not quite up to the Judge Dee mysteries I loved decades ago, but worthwhile. (

This was a pretty good start to a series. The main character was kind of flat, but I see his potential for later so I'm okay with it. Tora started out with a bang, and I was glad because he is my favorite character in the series. The storyline was good, but Parker went a round about way for resolving all the loose threads. It wasn't a bad ending, I just think it needed a little more editing. Overall, I really enjoyed it! (
