The hype was a bit late I've been waiting eagerly for the case to at least lead to something. Half way through it with Hubble on it and Di (oh I love this girl), Inspector Mislan at last on the move. The murder case was plotted well-- I love that the narrative did not panicking that much, quite smooth though a bit slow at the beginning but the blurry unknown mysterious murder case was quite tense and complicated, I was super curious.
A bit of meloromance, some family stuff, ol' memories strike again but I like that it showed me a bit of Mislan's background. The love part with Safia, I did not fancy that stuff much but I appreciate how Safia was super helpful with the case and managing Mislan's heart /cough/, was a bit concern on how Mislan gonna solve the murder case with some upper management and colleagues not on his side. The credibility of Supt. Samsiah was admirable I think Johan was also my favorite character here, freaking trustworthy. And Chew too!
I like the semi-formal vibe of the story telling. The investigation part was fairly intense and utterly praiseworthy, some unexpected drama and I wasn't satisfied with the motive-- I'm with Mislan on that, it was unconvincing and not right. Nevertheless, though a bit dejected with the final part-- dislike those police politic stuff (chunk of displeasure /annoyed/), I think the ending was not bad. 3.5 stars to be exact.
