Helpful Score: 4

I read Laura Joh Rowland's "Sano Ichiro" series first and foremost for the cultural and historical tidbits she includes in each mystery. Living in Japan, this series makes learning about my host nation fun and entertaining as opposed to dry history books. I enjoy Sano's humility, his sense of honor and fairness, and his devotion to his family. The mysteries always have a few unexpected twists and always include foreshadowing the next book.
