Query: pseudo samurai tales

i must admit that i often failed not to judge a book by its cover and this is one of the many times. after all the bookcover makes the first all important impression on the impressionable.however. i am not incline to recommand this title if what you are looking for are believable japanese characters or situation. as only a mystery it is fine.i am an avid holmes reader having read and re-read the complete stories many times. i am pretty much into whodunit novels, films, and even tv. also, i'm keen japanese/samurai culture "student".although i cannot say i fully appreciate cross-pollination of the detective genre and the japanese samurai genre i can say i'm somewhat disappointed. i expected more authenticity. more nitty and more gritty of things japanese of that time. which is to say i am not only interesting in whodunit and why and how but more interested in 17th century japan, and how this setting is used to stage this detective story.
