don't be fooled by the low-ish rating! i had a great time reading this one (highly addicting and fast paced!) but it falls short when compared to the other titles i have read from him.

Detefktif kaga??? Keren banget please!

Jujur yaaa, buku keigo yang ini unik banget, kita ga cuma diajak untuk nebak2 siapa pelakunya, tapi juga dibuat tercengo2 akan keahlian detefktif kaga yang secara tidak langsung menyelesaikan masalah orang2 di sekitar korban, meskipun hal itu ga mengarah kepada penyelidikan secara khusus.

Detefktif kaga tu yaa kenapa si keren banget?? Selain suka blusukan, beliau ini bikin buku ini heartwarming bgt please? Banyak bgt masalah ttg keluarga yang diceritain disini, yang juga diselesaikan sama detefktif kaga.

Aku pas baca ini justru sama sekali ga mikir siapa pelakunya, karena hint nya masih rancu. Dann justru aku berfokus pada permasalahan setiap keluarga yang didatangi detefktif kaga, sumpah yaaa plot twist antara keluarga korban itu bikin hati kayak nyess tapi ademm gt

The translation is not what one might hope, but the novel is fantastic. The intricate weaving of the stories of the people involved is truly masterful. The charming, Columbo-like demeanor of Detective Kaga is endearing, while the discoveries he makes are worthy of the most insightful sleuth.

⭐️ 4.75/5

Tentang Detektif Kaga Kyoichiro, si pendatang baru, yang bertugas untuk menguak kasus pembunuhan di Nihonbashi. Buku ini tipe misteri yang who dunnit, karena itu buku ini bercerita tentang usaha Kaga mencari siapa pelaku pembunuhan dengan bertanya serta mengamati warga sekitar. Aku suka banget sama cara Kaga menggali informasi. Despite being a murder mystery, this book is surprisingly wholesome. Dengan atau tanpa sengaja, Kaga menyelesaikan permasalahan dari warga sekitar yang dimintai keterangan. Bahkan ia juga menyelesaikan masalah keluarga dari korban. He could pass as a therapist for sure. Siapa dan apa motif si pembunuh emang lumayan gampang ketebak, tapi jujur plotnya oke banget. Betul ya, ada perbedaan antara ‘menyayangi’ dan ‘membesarkan dengan baik’. Kasih sayang emang bisa membutakan akal dan moral.
