The heartwarming award-winning Japanese sensation My Grandfather the Master Detective is an affectionate cosy whodunit - and a story of living your days to the fullest. Perfect for fans of Before the Coffee Gets Cold . There used to be a cafe called Mon Cheri at Nishi Waseda where members of the Waseda Mystery Club spent day after day frothing in excitement over the latest mystery novels and now he and Kaede solve mysteries together . . . As a lover of classic crime stories it's perhaps no surprise that twenty-seven-year-old schoolteacher Kaede encounters everyday mysteries more often than your average person. Solving them is another matter though and the person she always heads to for guidance is her beloved grandfather - who despite having dementia retains a keen sharpness of mind. From impossible locked-room murders to confounding missing person cases the granddaughter and grandfather team 'weave stories' in master-and-apprentice fashion. Together they get to the bottom of case after case. But all the while a shadow slowly closes in on Kaede posing a more insidious threat . . . Filled with charming characters and steeped in references to classic crime - from Christie to Chesterton to Poe - My Grandfather the Master Detective is a touching charming mystery by Masateru Konishi. Translated from the Japanese by Louise Heal Kawai winner of the Lindsley and Masao Miyoshi Traslation Prize 2025.
