The Hell Screen is the sequel to I. J. Parker's Rashomon Gate. The Hells Gate has received stellar reviews from many well-respected publications including Publishers Weekly: "Parker's remarkable command of 11th-century Japanese history-from the rituals of the royal court to the minutia of daily life within Japan's often rigid caste system-makes for an excellent whodunit."

    " Akitada's adventures come closer to home than any of the other books, which makes for an exciting ending! "

    " Another murder mystery solved by Akitada Sugawara and we learn more about Akitada's family life - an interesting glimpse at life in 11th century Japan. "

    " When I read this I didn't know it was part of a series. The book stood well on it's own. I loved the twists and turns in the plot. "

    " Another great one, Sugawara. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Craig | 10/30/2011

    " Not quite as good as the first in the series - a few too many plotlines for the author to carry off successfully without them getting in each other's way. Still pretty good. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Sarah | 5/14/2011

    " Medieval Japanese mystery series. More engaging than I expected - possibly because there was nothing screamingly medieval about it to someone unfamiliar with Japanese history and technology pre-1900. (It's all swords, horses, and koi until about 1910, as far as I'm concerned.) "

    " Another good one in this series. A bit more disturbing in the details of the crime, but the characters get more richly detailed. A few plot twists are a little obvious but the story still moves well. "

    It's a fascinating look into that era, rich with details of court life and the lives of the commoners. "
