This was the first time I felt really close to Detective Galileo. He was there since the earliest chapter, involving indirectly with the case-- unlike the previous Keigo I read, Yukawa only appeared later in the middle of the investigation when Kusanagi and Utsumi came asking for advise. How I love Yukawa a lot to the level I don't want to finish reading this (and at some point I'm afraid to read further cause too afraid Kawahata might done something to him). His friendship to Kyohei in here so lovable that I myself suddenly love science too.

Surprises and past secrets-- the usual Keigo style. Puzzling mysteries, leaving me hanging and suspense at each chapter-- waiting for Yukawa or Kusanagi to open up to me. It was testing my patience at a point, but I love the thrill Keigo put in here. The twist and disclosure-- I'm actually stunned when Yukawa met Narumi and told her about what Kyohei did. And it was such a great teamwork of both Kusanagi and Utsumi revealing the past secret, seaching here and there just so the case won't ended up wrongly. I like the part when Kusanagi went to meet the Haruhi's owner. The owner hold the memories of half the characters in here, giving me the bigger picture and go "ahah! I never thought it would turn out like that!". You'll never know how love makes you go and do anything and everything. Sentimental, and heartwarming. But of course, you need to 'pay' for it.

You could guess who was the killer in the middle of the chapter, but on how it been revealed-- I was always in love with that part. Dramatic and intriguing. And honestly, this book has the best ending in any Keigo I have read. The meet up between Yukawa and Kyohei at the waiting room was somewhat gratifying.

"Every problem has a solution. But there's no guarantee that the solution will be found immediately. The same holds true in our lives. We encounter several problems to which the solutions are not immediately apparent in life. There is value to be had in worrying about those problems when you get to them. But never feel rushed. Often, in order to find the answer, you need time to grow first. That's why we apply ourselves, and learn as we go."

And I love how Kyohei gave me the second thought on Shigehiro at the end. This book would be in my favorite shelf for sure!
