This book works for me, the way reading the entire book feels like it's constantly raining cold despite having read it in peak highest of summer makes me feel happy. I enjoy crime/mystery for the experience and not the plot, so maybe I'm not the best critic, but to me I'm genuinely curious & wondering about what happen to the sister; and did not expect the plot reveal at the end.
Seen some complaints about the writing style (that's said to mimic/heavily inspired by Murakami) but to me it doesn't come off that way; I guess Japanese literature share similar sentiments to us readers upon reading it is all. Terrific time enjoying this piece!
