This one had a twist that I didn’t expect! Fun but again not a remarkable read. Great to pass the time and enjoy the scenery of 20th century japan.

this didn’t work for me!!
i have read 3 other books in the series. they were really good. however, this one felt flat. mainly because of so much telling and no showing. there were pages and pages of information that, although relevant to the plot, bored me.
i liked Kindaichi, but the rest of the characters were annoying. also that “ha ha” was getting on my nerves!
the mystery itself was bland. the reason for murders was ridiculous to me. they agreed to murder the girls just because the one who was asking them was looking sad and heartbroken 🙄 also the priest said that one of the reasons they carried out the crimes was that the girls were like “cats in the heat”. the hell???

The writing was a little mellow but the story was good. Very Knives Out
