Idolmaker by Jonelle Patrick: An Only in Tokyo novel.

This is my third novel of the Only in Tokyo series and perhaps my favourite one. Jonelle Patricks takes the reader into the world of idols in Japan and also shows the devastating consequences of a tsunami.

I love the characters in this series. Yumi, a Japanese girl with modern ideas who is trapped in an unpleasant engagement.Kenji Nakamura, a brave detective who is madly in love with her. Suzuki, an expert on kanji characters and Oki an amateur psychologist, both skilful police officers at the Komagone police station and many interesting characters who depict different aspects of life in Japan.

The plot in this novel is as engaging as in the previous ones and the final chapters will keep you reading nonstop.

All in all another wonderful book set in modern Tokyo for lovers of Japanese culture and avid readers. To make the series even more amazing, the author includes several photographs at the end of each book that will take you to Tokyo and enable you to understand their culture much better.
