A Kiss of Fire Masako Togawa 9780345355805 Books

A Japanese mystery novel, of sorts, by a female author. Early on, one of the main characters, the detective, says he believes in chance but not fate. So what are the odds of the following set up? Many years ago three five-year old boys were playing with matches and a fire started that killed the father of one of the boys. Fast-forward thirty years and those three boys are now a fireman, an arsonist and the detective investigating the string of arsons. Is that fate or chance?

This novel is part detective story and part psychological thriller with a complex plot; so complex that you would have to go back and re-read it to figure out all the nuances. At various times you are led to think that any of the three characters or their mothers or girlfriends could be the real arsonist! (I did not re-read it.). But it’s a good story with a lot of local color of 1990’s Japan. It had suspense, it kept my interest, and was a fairly quick read.
