Welcome to the マスカレード Series Book Club! It is a series of detective novels written by HIGASHINO Keigo 東野 圭吾.
We started reading the first volume in the Advanced Book Club and are now continuing the series as a Spin-Off.

Unfortunately these books are not available as ebooks (last I’ve checked) so in order to join, you need to get a physical copy. (If you are interested in joining and have problems getting a copy, you could always let us know, I know I am willing to give over my copy of the books I’m done reading, maybe others are too :slight_smile: )

I’ll create the thread for マスカレード・イブ later today so we can discuss start date, schedule and so on. :slight_smile:
I’m thinking start date middle of August (one year exactly after マスカレード・ホテル), and loose schedule, but I’m open for ideas!

I knew it would be released this summer because there was a mention of it on the paper band on my paperback copy of マスカレード・ゲーム. But you beat me to the cover !
