Product Description

Product Description
There's a serial killer on the loose in Los Angeles and the local authorities need help fast. For some reason the killer has been leaving a string of maddeningly arcane clues at each crime scene. Each of these clues, it seems, is an indecipherable roadmap to the next murder. Onto the scene comes L, the mysterious super-sleuth. Despite his peculiar working habits - he's never shown his face in public, for example - he's the most decorated detective in the world and has never tackled a cased he hasn't been able to crack. But this time he needs help. Enlisting the services of an FBI agent named Naomi Misora, L starts snooping around the City of Angels. It soon becomes apparent that the killing spree is a psychotic riddle designed specifically to engage L in a battle of wits. Stuck in the middle between killer and investigator, it's up to Misora to navigate both the dead bodies and the egos to solve the Los Angeles BB Murder Cases.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous Novelette, 10 Sep 2008
By N. Bunting "MadaManga" (Cambridgeshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is story is narrated as Mello doing a report about a case L told to him & gave him the notes for. All the characters in this story are already dead, so Mello gives his interpretation, while inserting open-ending questions about things he can only speculate on to get the reader thinking, which is a clever story convention.

The story is filled with the usual logic bending you expect from L, as well as enough gore, comedy and freaky behaviour to keep you hooked.

It mainly resolves around two characters, FBI Agent Naomi and private investigate Ryuzaki, with L mainly a voice through a phone or computer. They work together to solve the puzzles serial killer BB has left at his crime scenes before he reaches his last victim, the puzzles being a direct challenge to L.

More about L's and the Wammy Orphanage's background is revealed in Mello's side notes. Plus, it's explained why a talented woman like Naomi coped out of her job & ran away to Japan to get married, something that never sat right with me in the manga.

1st Note: READ DEATH NOTE MANGA OR WATCH THE ANIME BEFORE GETTING THIS!

Or the mind game the author plays on the reader just won't work. And the Death Note movies won't cut it either, sorry, as Mello doesn't make to them.

2nd Note: This story was intended for a Japanese audience and a pinch of salt is needed. First off - the silly names for Americans, such as Quarter Queen, Blues-Harp, Bottomslash, Beyond Birthday, are an author's joke and their unlikelihood needs to be ignored. Secondly, you need to be aware that Japanese makes no distinction between R & L - it's the same character / sound, otherwise certain revelations will go right over your head.

3rd Note: At only 176 pages this is less a novel than a novelette, and at I first I passed it on - till I saw a copy in a shop and looked at it. This book is gorgeous. Don't wait for a paperback version! It's bound in a plush cover, with silver gilt, then there's a matching card wrap-round (also gilded) with a skull & skeleton design & the Death Note logo. Inside there's a new colour artwork for this story and each chapter is fronted with a gothic abstract on vellum. Wow! This book is officially the prettiest one on my selves that isn't an art book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A conclusion worthy of the Death Note series., 18 Mar 2008
By Mr. RB FORTUNE-WOOD "Rowan" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This is fan fiction and crime fiction so certain allowances must be made; a few clichés are to be expected, errors in narration can be forgiven and poor use of punctuation (particularly exclamation marks and ellipsis) can be put aside. These things are annoying, but Another Note made up for them with an excellent plot, an amazingly original new character and a conclusion worthy of the Death Note series.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book, 20 April 2009
By I. Barclay (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What can I say about this book. I loved it but probably because of loving Death Note itself. If you are getting this book for someone who never watched it or read the original manga this won't be interesting in my opinion. Also the whole series should be watched/read before reading this book. That's all I can say, if you liked the original Death Note you'll like this. Also I don't read many books so there might be better detective stories but I still think this book should be read by all the Death Note fans.
