Book Review: Death Note: Another Note

Death Note: Another Note--The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases by NisiOisiN, original concept by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata

To be able to see a person's life span: do you see this as a blessing or a curse? It might even make someone slip from the thin line between genius and insanity. 

A killer is on the loose in L.A. and it has the police baffled. Naomi Misora is an FBI agent presently on leave. One night she receives an email. Not just any email, one from the world's greatest detective, "L" himself. He needs her to be his eyes and ears on the current serial murders, dubbed "The Wara Ningyo Murders" by the public. Odd considering the detective usually goes after much bigger cases, ones where over millions of dollars are at stake. While investigating, many things come to light, with all sorts of twists and turns. A peculiar private investigator, who seems to know more than he lets on. The book has detective and killer dancing around each other like some sort of morbid game. The lengths someone will go to to prove a point, and complicated puzzles make you think. A killing thriller with humor dashed in.

I adore this book and I've read it several times! I'd rate it Older Teen for language, gore, and violence.
