My Grandfather is a Private Detective

Schoolteacher Kaede takes care of her grandfather, who is suffering from dementia — the only close person she has in the world. He experiences hallucinations and memory loss, but the old man's mind clears up as soon as Kaede presents... him with an apparently unsolvable puzzle. Every time, after studying all the facts he knows, the grandfather weaves them into an intriguing story that turns out to be true time and again. The grandfather's reasoning helps the girl uncover the mystery of her missing colleague and protect her friend from murder accusations, but will it save Kaede herself from a mysterious pursuer who is getting closer each day? Written in a light and engaging style, the book is full of mysteries, humor, sparkling dialogues, and references to the best examples of the detective genre from Agatha Christie to Rex Stout. The rights to the cozy novel "My Grandfather is a Private Detective" have been purchased by more than 10 countries, including France, Germany, Italy, and others.
