The Tokyo Zodiac Murders by Sōji Shimada
mysterious
tense
medium-paced
3.75
It has a slow beginning but once kiyoshi and kazumi get out of Tokyo, it starts to pick up. Kiyoshi and Kazumi’s dynamic is also pretty entertaining and adds some humor to a book about disemboweled women.
While I didn’t guess the correct culprit, I was able to get where Shimada was going. It was pretty satisfying to be even half-way right.
I did get lost in the discussions of longitudes and latitudes. The little diagrams where a nice way to give visuals to some of the more complex/wordy explanations. So I wasn’t totally lost and able to piece some of the clues together.
