It was quite a decent and straightforward murder plot to me yet it turns complicated when the prime suspect who was seen hiding nearby died (after days in coma) when he was hit by a truck while trying to flee from the crime scene.\n\nIt was so intense and totally a page-turner to me, love the teamwork between Detective Kaga and his cousin, Detective Matsumiya (he’s a charm, I love his character so much!)— they went pursuing the investigation even with not much hints and I like how both their chief and leader being quite supportive with Kaga’s personal hunch about the case. Bit of red herring but so rivetingly executed that it leads to another gripping incident from years ago and Kaga did so well in disentangling the secrets and linking both cases with a solid motive from the killer. \n\nThe subplots were intriguing much as it highlighted on social inequality and power harassment also the family and friendship parts were quite emotionally driven to me; love to see Kaga’s interactions with both the victim’s son and the suspect’s girlfriend. I appreciate the morality aspect it tries to explore and it ends well too with a good and heartwarming lesson.\n\nMight be easy to guess on the plotline or less twisty compared to Newcomer or Malice yet still in love with Higashino’s way in developing Kaga’s dynamic and characterization; I get anxious few times following his POV when he goes beyond the case trails but fancy the thrills nevertheless; still loving his style of suddenly popped up, asked few questions and vanished in a puff of smoke. 4.7 stars to this! \n\nThank you Pansing Distribution for sending me a copy to review :)\n\nps: I wonder why they did not follow the literal translation from the Japanese title; love it more, honestly",5,"none","rv-01kr82xynh4btxjx1btbx82w3c",[],"2026-05-10T04:39:34.000000Z",{"first":7,"last":7,"prev":7,"next":7},{"path":107,"per_page":108,"next_cursor":7,"prev_cursor":7,"has_more":20},"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fapi\u002Fworks\u002F01kr82xwj2bsrqzpk774a9zytm\u002Freviews",20]
