mysterious
tense
medium-paced
4.0
This intricately plotted and deftly paced detective novel had me hooked and reading it in one sitting, even if it was rather reminiscent of the old maths question, ‘if a train leaves the station at 6:10 goes 100mph…’! Deserving of its status as a classic, I enjoyed the glimpse into life in 1950s Japan and the brain-teasing read.
