Uketsu’s “Strange Houses” is an atypical blend of crime, mystery, and horror, told almost entirely through dialogue, theories, and the analysis of unusual house plans The novel reads quickly, holds your attention easily, and draws the reader into an investigation whose dark twists aren’t easily predictable, although the second half demands a bit more concentration…
