Rich heiress Reiko Hosho lives a double life as a novice detective, fighting crime under Inspector Kazamatsuri—also from a wealthy family. After work, Reiko sheds her pantsuit to don a lovely dress for dinner each day. Difficult cases force her to confide in her butler Kageyama, who proceeds to savagely ridicule her inability to solve mysteries, all while brilliantly unraveling each case himself.

"The Dinner Table Detective is an original mystery novel series. It was adapted into these incredibly good bite-sized episodes, in which each crime is solved within 24 to 48 minutes, either one or two episodes each. The plot is about a rich and prominent Japanese heiress of the Hosho family, who decides to fill her long days, not as an idle wealthy woman, but as a police detective, after some education, using another identity. Her talented and whip smart butler helps Reiki with her charade. The characters are larger than life, sometimes annoying, but are ultimately entertaining. Japanese audio. "
