'Murder and time travel collide' Publishers Weekly

In the middle of the family New Year's gathering at his home, Grandfather Fuchigami is murdered. But not for the last time.

For his grandson, Hisataro, has fallen into a mysterious time-loop, in which he must relive the same day again and again.

Every morning after his grandfather's death, Hisataro wakes up with a chance to find the culprit and prevent the murder. But day after day he fails, despite stumbling across clues aplenty in the shape of secret plots, illicit love affairs and jealous rivalries.

With an extremely large inheritance up for grabs, everyone is a suspect - and Hisataro is beginning to wish he could leave this day behind...

"Murder and time travel collide in Nishizawa’s charming English-language debut.. Nishizawa stitches elements from Clue, Groundhog Day, and Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s Before the Coffee Gets Cold into a mischievous tale that stands on its own two feet. This lighthearted whodunit will please anyone who likes their murder mysteries with a dash of whimsy"
—Publishers Weekly

"A murder mystery with a fun twist"
