I have been reading 祈祷落幕时 by 东野圭吾. These are Japanese murder mystery novels (Agatha Christie style). I have read 5 of them now in Chinese and would really recommend them to someone looking for their first full length novel. Aside from the Japanese names which can be hard to keep track of, these are very straightforward and compelling reads.
Completely missed this! That sounds awesome. Thanks for the rec. Just started reading 許三觀賣血記 as my first novel, it's been going OK so far but I feel like DuChinese has drilled me a lot regarding murder mysteries/detective kind of vocabulary so those might be easy in that sense haha.
Also a very good choice for first novel!
