CW: suicide and death

In 1924, Mary and Sherlock decide to go to Japan, but, as usual, get embroiled in a case by some people that they meet. The next year, things come back and they're brought into a new yet similar mystery by the same people. I'm really glad that we finally got the story about what happened in Japan since it's been hinted about for a while, so this one was a bit step back in time from the last book.

It was a very quick read. I read over half of it in one evening, then I read the rest the next morning. So, it's quick. And, as usual, it was just a fun mystery that I got absorbed in!
