It started out really interesting, but the latter half of the book spent too much time spelling out how the different pieces of the story fit together. It was long-winded and unnecessary, and the ending was a bit odd.

"Satu-satunya alasan nasihatku bisa membantu mereka tidak lain karena niat si pengirim surat itu sendiri. Seandainya mereka tidak berkeinginan menjalani hidup dengan baik dan tekun, mungkin jawaban apapun yang kuberikan tidak akan ada gunanya bagi mereka,"

First time reading Keigo Higashino... tapi kayaknya nggak akan baca lagi karena selain yang ini bukunya serem.

I would say, while this book is worth to finish, it wasn't easy to read. Setting waktunya maju mundur (sure if you pay attention to events and the year mentioned, you may have better experience) dan tokohnya lumayan banyak dan terhubung satu sama lain dengan petunjuk yang subtle (jadi selama baca mikir, eh ini yang tadi disebut bukan sih).

Also I have a theory 😂 that this all happened because Namiya Yuji wish for happines for someone who build a house for unfortunate children. Such a heartwarming conclusion for such unpredictable book 😂
