I've only just started reading the honkaku genre and I love it so much! I'm seriously dense and definitely not a detective but it's still such a fun and intense read. 

The writing was great and the mystery was excellent. I did have trouble keeping up with all of the characters and names.

The mystery was interesting. I read through the book in a day and a half just because I wanted to know the answer.
