Internationally acclaimed author Kotaro Isaka spins another outrageously entertaining thriller in Hotel Lucky Seven. This is a stylish, masterful book, again featuring outsized characters, gripping action, plot twists, and surprise identities.
I absolutely loved Isaka's "The Mantis" from the same series, and this book was no disappointment either.
A bit lighter, a LOT more chaotic, but once again a terse page turner. I was disgusted by the bad guys, I was rooting for the hapless hero, and I loved how a bunch of seemingly unrelated people and stories all tied together in the end!
