5.0

The concept of this book was immediately appealing to me, with the way the first chapter is pure unreliable narration. This isn't much of a spoiler since it's revealed in the second chapter, and the blurb about this book implies it as well. However, even after Osamu is taken into custody, the mystery of why he did it is still unsolved. The way this novel had me question everything was exciting. I really only had an inkling about Osamu's true motive when I reached the chapter containing all of Kaga's interviews, and only when I reached the final chapter did everything fall into place in a way that really made sense. Anyway, huge fan. Would recommend.
