The Cherry Blossom Killing | Hercule Poirot Tokyo Hanami Mystery

Описание: The Cherry Blossom Killing | A Hercule Poirot Murder Mystery
In the delicate pink haze of 1938 Tokyo during peak hanami season, where the Meguro River banks are carpeted in falling sakura petals and the air hums with laughter, sake, and the soft strum of shamisen, Hercule Poirot is invited to a private hanami viewing only to confront The Cherry Blossom Killing, a murder mystery as fragile, fleeting, and heartbreakingly beautiful as the blossoms themselves. Beneath the most celebrated cherry tree in a secluded Shinjuku garden, the revered tea master and cultural patron Lady Aiko Hashimoto is found lifeless on her silk zabuton, poisoned by a rare toxin slipped into her ceremonial matcha—yet the bowl was whisked and served in full view of the assembled guests, the chasen never left her hand, and the petals drifting down seemed to mourn her in silence. Surrounded by a refined circle of hanami guests—jealous rival tea ceremony practitioners, a handsome Kyoto poet whose verses praised Lady Aiko too passionately, a silent kimono-clad attendant whose obi hides more than silk, and a mysterious Western diplomat whose camera captured every graceful movement—Poirot must navigate forged invitation scrolls, poisoned wagashi sweets offered at the tea ceremony, and motives as transient and poignant as cherry blossoms in full bloom. With the petals falling like silent witnesses and every sip of matcha carrying the risk of death, one breathtaking twist reveals a killer whose revenge was timed to the precise moment the sakura reached perfection. Can the little Belgian detective preserve the truth before the wind scatters the final petal and the hanami season ends in eternal silence? Listen to this mesmerising full audiobook, narrated by Hugh Fraser, and feel the gentle, deadly grace of Japanese spring justice!
