Sherlock and watson has been real quiet since this duo came out
Fr
Your brother is a welcome addition to your content. He brings out a chaotic side of you that I absolutely love watching 🤩
This just radiates “Made-up murder mystery game you play with your sibling” as kids and it’s so refreshing! Feels so fun and authentic. If this is a series you will be getting into more, I’d love to see it! It’s a great way to open up a murder mystery novel. 😄
You guys look more identical with silly moustaches on somehow lol
they look like twins 👀🤣
Literally came to the comments to say just this! 😂
This might be the greatest detective show I've ever seen. 😂
The effort put into this video is so amazing! Love the detective duo series 😎
thank you lovely!!
The absurd amount of air fresheners in your car made me CACKLE
they’re also all expired🥲
@emmiereads question what happen with review video of Ann Rice vampire chronicles series the book the vampire lestat where is it and do you know a date when that video is coming out?
@@jamesisaacson6379 Chill!!!
I just made note of that myself. If they all smell I would rather not be in that car,,
hahaha saaaaaaaame
I love seeing you so much happier back at home!❤
so excited for the detective duo to solve every crime ever
I like how they still cosplay as Poirot even thought this isn’t an Agatha Christie novel
the ✨psychologics✨
Thanks for the laughs, I especially like the reenactment - not something I expected from booktube, but now the bar is very high 😄
the world's most iconic moustached detective duo
Cool to see a different mystery writer being tackled. With Agatha Christie, it's obvious Poirot was always secretly the murderer and his true skill was finding mentally unstable people to take the blame. "Oh no I just happened to be right beside my 42nd murder this year, I must eh...solve it"
Just like Jessica Fletcher in Murder She Wrote. 😂 But seriously someone should write a series about a serial killer masquerading as a detective.
@@SloanePaoPow Jessica Fletcher was always suspicious to me. 😂
Ben is really gunning for the Brother of the Year award! I love the dedication! 🏆
This was sooooooo much fun, I would love to see this become a series😂😂😂❤
the fish bloopers im cryinggg
Gotta say when I first saw the beginning of the video I got intrigued by the events of the story and how it's explained and presented, kudos to you! 🙌 So I stopped the video and wanted to try my attempt on solving it, and immediately went over it in the span of 2 days 😅 and I went back to enjoy watching the full video. And may I just say, thank you so much for this amazing episode 😊 & for taking on solving this novel as it was an enjoyably unpredictable read 🙏💙
I love these videos! While in Japan, you could try and solve the Tokyo Zodiac Murders by Soji Shimada. There's literally a point in the book where the author explicitly tells you that you now have everything you need to solve the crime.
Ben rolling up the maps and you just plucking them out of his hand and smoothing them out is the absolute funniest thing in this whole video, don't ask me why😅😅
Your brother is cute, and funny,such a personality ! Love when you two are together ! Great Fun !
The bloopers at the end are just perfect
Misfortune never comes alone. Sometimes Mr. Fortune tags along.
Oh wow! This is my favorite mystery series of all time. Mill House is better than the Decagon House IMO but both are worth reading. Alas, the next translation in in the riddle house books (The Labyrinth House Murders) isn't coming out until October 10th. Mill House came out in May of 2023 so that is a 17 month (!!) gap between books.
So they finished Decagon House in 2015, and only then decided to continue once it sold well. But there are 9 murder house books (homes all built by the same mysterious Nakamura Seiji). Two books are finished leaving 7 more books, or in other words 7 more translations.
I get translating is hard, but seeing as all these houses are connected I've been theorizing that all the mysteries are somehow related. But to get there we are averaging a 17 month wait per book (one year and five months). 17x7 is 119 months until the final book or just under 12 years. Meaning it will be over a decade until we get answers :(
Anyways, good job. Yukito Ayatsuji (the author of this series) was the founder of Honkaku mystery novels in Japan and I think is by far the best. What makes these books so much for the format your using is that its all about the puzzle, not the characters or emotions. And the whole promise is that the reader should be able to solve the mystery before the end. And they supposedly get more clever each time, but again, 12 years. I don't know, but I have no one to talk to this stuff about so watching this video was really fun. So thanks for making it.
edit: If you liked this style of solvable mysteries based on clues (not characters/drama) Soji Shimada is a disciple of Yukito Ayatsuji and his book "The Tokyo Zodiac Murders" is notorious for being clever. Though I feel Ayatsuji is the best of the best so if you want more just read Decagon House. As for Mill House....
SPOILERS:
Fujinuma speaking in first person is what threw my suspicion off of him since he was struggling with a mystery (the note and the whereabouts of the real Fujinuma), just not the same mystery we were trying to solve.
I laughed so hard. This was really really good. The end with you laughing Emma, contagious.
it’s not even been 10 minutes I can’t control my laughter, you guys are too much😭
The production quality of this video: immaculate. the charisma of this duo: dynamic. My happiness after viewing it: off the charts 💕😁
I saw this vid, realized I hadn't read the book, and decided I didn't want to be spoiled, so I went out, bought and read the book. I'm so glad I did, it was so much fun watching you and your brother come to similar realizations that I did. :) These are some of my favorite vids of yours, so please keep it up!
😂 amazing, i loved all the black and white parts you did, it really brought the whole thing to life. The outtakes were perfection
Best detective duo on the planet, I wouldn't want anyone else to solve my crimes
More of this please! You two are honestly the best detective duo there is
i cant remember when I last had sucha good time watching a youtube video! i alredy screamed at the intro and then all of these wonderfully acted out scenes...!!! PLEASE COME BACK WITH MORE YOU'
RE GENIUS
Obsessed w the recreation of scenes
i just started the video and already cannot stop smiling!
awe I’m so glad🙃
Why did this give me so much joy 😂 These are extremely iconic videos
This is so much fun to watch!! Best detective duo in a long while 😂 thanks you two!
I can’t get over how Emmie & her brother look so much alike!😳
Especially the mustaches
Oh hell yes, I was in the mood for this detective duo today. Also I don't know why but the mustaches make the sibling resemblance between you two shoot up by like 90% its crazy
This was such a fun watch! So many twists! It is lovely to see you two having fun and solving another mystery. I hope there will be more videos in the future!
this video is so so so fun i’m having a great time
😂 one of my faves I’ve done in a while!
I NEED MORE OF THIS!!!!
I found your video a couple of days ago, found it interesting and decided to read the book before watching. Now I'm back))

1) So great you worked out that Masaki is the murderer! Almost right from the start!
2) The thing that was the most suspicios to me from the very beginning is the style of telling the story in the past and in the present. From "I" and "He", it must have been done on purpose. So the idea of another man hiding behind the mask came to me. It's seems easy when you're wearing mask and gloves and move in the wheelchair.
What's more, Shimada asked the main guy twice "are you Mr. Fujinuma?" and twice the guy answered sth irrelevant but didn't give the exact answer.
As for me, the author was too honest with a reader in this part, I'd rather he let Masaki lie. That'd be more interesting. Cause he's a muderer pretending to be another man for a year, it's not a problem for him to lie.
3) Masaki's only finger left to imitate he was murdered and the same plot in Harry Potter series... hm)
4) I've studied the plan of the ground floor lots of times and have only one question: how do people get into the courtyard? There are no doors!
Thank you for the video, it was really nice to watch!) Hope to see other honkaky misteries solved by your detective duo.
(Spoilers): Omg yes! I clocked on the identity thing immediately from the perspective shift and fingers/glove mention, and was just verifying the theory going along - think more red herrings like a lie in Masaki’s dialogue would have thrown me off better. But I didn’t get the body party/window thing that Emma solved, I kept thinking the body found was Kiichi because of the burning. As a result was studying the plan soooo much to think how he could have disappeared and the no door to the courtyard was maddening haha! Also would kind of like subtle hints at the architectural trickery within the plans… hopefully something in future translations if they’re all related to the same architect!
the production quality on this episode!!! 😂 the air freshener number absolutely killed me
Great video, always fun for the mystery to actually be solvable with the available clues
i absolutely LOVE these videos
the bloopers are taking me out 😭😭😭
Omg I read this book recently! Excited to watch you guys solve it :)
Love that your motorhead brother joins you on these adventures! 🤩 a suggestion for the next mystery is A World of Curiosities by Louise Penny…a 3 Pines series. Set in Canada. I listened to the audiobook, it has many twists and turns.
Absolutely LOVE this detective series 🤩✨It’s so enjoyable and hilarious. Please keep it up we need more of thiss! 🙏🩷
Went out and bought this book to read it specifically to watch this video. I finished the book an hour ago, and I’m ready to watch!
Wow, I love Ayatsuji! Haven't read this book exactly, but another one by him, "The Decagon House Murders" has astonished me greatly. I still remember the line with the main twist, where we understand who the murderer is.
Hope you'll make a video with this book too one day!❤
I just finished this book, i was so glad to be able to figure out who the culprit was but to also have a twist that made me gasp out loud when reading it, this was very fun to watch
thank you, ben. THAT is how the rich stay rich and get richer!
i love these videos so much. you always look like you're having the time of your life and it makes me so happy!
I've only read one of them, but any of the Dublin Murder Squad (Tana French) books would be fun to see! Also one of Gillian Flynn's would be veeeery interesting
I’ve been waiting for this one, it has quickly become one of my fav series of yours, hope you guys keep doing new vids ✨
This reminded me of one of Detective Conan’s episodes, loved it
One of the Detective Conan volumes could work really well for this kind of video imho
They are basically made as novels to try solve while reading
Only problem could be they may be too short, but maybe doing a couple together, or looking for a multi-part chapter?
This was so entertaining. Good job you two :)
i recently read this book and it was really good!! highly recommend ‘The Decagon Murders’ by the same author I’m not lying I was in a state of shock after reading it and it’s hands down one of my favourite murder mystery books
this was so so good !!! the best one so far I laughed so much hahahahahha I love when your brother is participating too it just makes it so much funnier hahahah
That car is the pine freshest car ive ever seen lol
Yeah! Mon duo de détectives préférés. Emma, hearing you laugh in the bloopers was priceless. Have fun you two. ❤
OMG i just finish this book yesterday, what a random coincidence 😂
Love this!!! Please do more videos like this!!! Love you guys ❤
The acting scenes are so good
love the acting! fantastic
Now for the video,
I love that you guys reenact the scenes from the book.
I want you guys to solve the first book in the series "The Decagon House Murders" since you have already familiar with "And Then There Were None" I think you guys could easily solve it (I want you guys to actually use the authors images as the characters images for the story since the characters are nicknamed after famous detective authors).
Then continue it with "The Labyrinth House Murders" that's going to release in october, maybe next time asked your brother to read the book while you did what he did during this video :v
Also... where did you get the book with that cover? my book has a different one.
Okay, this was amazing! I was laughing so hard at the bloopers. The Detective Duo are brilliant!
the best detective duo is backkk yayyy
Amazing editing! 😍 Such a good time! These mystery videos with Ben are the best. ❤❤
Looooovedd this ❤ thank you for the laughs
with those mustaches u guys look like twins 😂
Emma, please say this will become a series on the channel! You and Ben are amazing detectives! 🔎🔍
the fish liked the way she tasted so much 😭😭😭😭😭😭
That was so friggin fun. Thank you for entertaining me while I draw. 😆
There's a really cool game series called "Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective" Where you follow short paragraph clues and figure out murders. Could be a more fun way to do something like this cause it's built for actually figuring out the answer in the end
Yesss ☺️ excited for another one of these, I'm in a big mystery mood (reading my first Dorothy L. Sayers mystery at the moment and so far it's REALLY really good)
JUST read her lecture on why aristotle would've loved detective fiction. she's a gem
@@EmmaSophieChannel She is phenomenal I love her - the one I'm reading is The Nine Tailors and her prose in particular is really blowing me away
Would love to see you try to solve The Appeal by Janice Hallett 😊
the bloopppeeerss hahahhaa
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS, FINALLY
Ben's got some acting chops
This video is literally comedy at its finest form. I just lost it at 33:52. Incredible.
The journey of bens mustache😂
yesss i love these vids sm
Best duo ever on RUclips!
This was so much fun! Even though I know the ending now, I still want to read this book. :D Have you read The Name of the Rose yet? That could be a fun one for this series. Either way, I'm excited to see what you do next!
I skimmed the video...and died laughing! RIP the real detectives, they inspired some art here...some art there!! 💀💀💀
Awesome content and your brother is quite the talent! 👍💙🤗💙👍
Plz do this again its soo fun
I love you two together. So cute. 😊❤
this was soo fun! I laughed out loud so many times lmao
OK I LOVE THE DETECTIVE DUO
How is the masked wheelchair man standing outside? And how wasn't he under massive suspicion when he started dancing Emma! Loved it. Thank you.
Oh how this enlightened my day
I wanted to share my own experience of solving this book, if you guys don't mind :)
After reading the first book of this murder mystery series by Yukito Ayatsuji I was surprised that Shimada is going to be the detective of the series, because he is overshadowed by the characters and main murders of the first book. I think the cover of the book spoil the plot twist of the book.
The things I manage to solve.
1. That Fujinuma Kiichi in the present, was Masaki.
- Because of the way he describes himself, his face for example. He always says "That face" or "That loathsome face", he also criticizes himself like, "Does she not find the age gap between us weird," (something like that). That's how I immediately know that Kiichi is Masaki in disguise. I also find it weird that Kiichi immediately suspects that it's Masaki in the incinerator when there is no way of knowing it's actually him, so at the start of the book I wrote down "Not confirmed if the body was actually Masaki's"
2. Yurie wrote the note.
- At the time of the discovery of the note only Yurie could've wrote it and put it underneath the door. She has the strongest motive and the only one that could put the note underneath the door without anyone noticing. She also has a tic for looking down so it's weird that she didn't say she saw anything.
3. That the painting was hidden.
- The painting was so random, Fountain. Had it been The Phantom Cluster I would've never suspected that it was hidden.
4. Furukawa's disappearance from the first floor of Annex Hall.
- When it is pointed out that no man could fit and get out through the window, I immediately thought... "But chopped off pieces of a dead body/corpse can!"
5. Yurie was in on it.
- There are many times where Yurie is left alone, she is the only who could've stolen the painting. I don't know why, but I've always suspected Yurie, not because she looked like she could kill, more like... she's the type to easily be persuaded to do something.
Things I couldn't solve but I guarantee if I solved them I would've solved the whole book:
1. Motive for killing Negishi Fumie and Nozawa Tomoko.
2. The darn secret room.
- Nozawa said that she could smell something weird from the basement and the secret room is like... far from that room.
Things that distracted me and caught me off guard:
1. Masaki being the one who draw everyone's attention to the painting, then Oishi naming the price of it. I almost believed that someone actually stole it, because Oishi named the painting's price.
2. The power outage.
3. Kuramoto heard that the shower was on when he passed the Northern part of Annex Hall.
4. The fucking newspaper, I shouldn't have trusted that newspaper article.
Btw, it's an amazing book, the last parts of the book gave me chill.
I just finished reading The Decagon House Murders...which is the first book. It doesn't really matter, seems both books only share one character - but kinda random doing the second book in the series (seems there's a few of these).
all i can pay attention to is the obscene amount of air fresheners in the car
I love these sm and I don't even like mystery books
brb going to read this and then watch!
literally found the last video today hoping there’d be another one soon wth
read your mind!!☺️
With moustache on its hard to identify whos who
Love you both❤❤❤❤
best duo ever!!
