Three Assassins...showcases Kotaro Isaka's Tarantinoesque blend of offbeat wit and stylised violence -- James Owen ― The Times

[A] mesmerising tale of how life is simultaneously cheap and precious, and the past catches up with us all. -- Laura Wilson ― Guardian

Highly entertaining... grips with plenty of twists before delivering a stylish and fitting finale -- Jon Coates ― Sunday Express

Delivers an unusual journey. The eponymous killers - along with a man bent on payback
for the death of his wife - are engaged in a dance of death

Isaka knows how to keep his readers on their toes. His characters are colourful, varied and morally despicable. ― Crime Fiction Lover
