this volume was such a big disappointment. none of the mysteries were as entertaining as the previous ones and the reveals of how the murders were committed were so unbelievably ridiculous and eyeroll inducing. i definitely have a limit where i’m just like i refuse to suspend my disbelief and each one of the three mysteries featured in this volume was that for me.

the first mystery was a murder during a live television broadcast and the reveal had me laughing not from how good it was but solely how bad and ridiculously ott it was .

the second mystery (the worst of the lot) was about a murder in a restaurant during a secret rendezvous and it felt like a rush job to introduce a potentially important relative of one of the main characters and but it could have been done in a much more interesting way.

the beginning of the third mystery had me hoping this volume would be saved because i loved how it was set in a temple atop a mountain but i was sorely disappointed because the method of murder purely pissed me off. idk but it felt so stupid omg and insultingly ott plus gave me filler vibes.

however,this last mystery was completely wrapped up in this volume so that makes me hopeful that the next volume is going to feature some really great mysteries and also move the main storyline along.
