My goodness, what a lovely photo accompanying a tawdry story of death in the Islands. Interesting juxtaposition.
I have to amend my comment. This exactly why my third Mystery novel is set right here.
Things happen in the loveliest of places…
Empathy for the family and friends of Mr. Togioka. A sad ending for any life.
thanks for expressing what I should have done.
