We discuss chapters 7-9, the fourth and fifth days of Yukito Ayatsuji’s ‘The Decagon House Murders’. With the number of survivors on the island continuing to thin, so too does the list of culprits. A suspicious set of footprints found alongside a body on the island affirms Ellery’s theory that Seiji is alive and out for vengeance, whilst on the mainland, Kojiro tells Conan quite the opposite. The true face of Ayatsuji’s mansion murders bears its head as the debut sprints towards its climax. We also chat with Emma Stonex, author of ‘The Lamplighters’ about why islands are the perfect place for a locked room mystery and the incident that inspired it.
