Another one from Keigo, and with this book, he has sealed and climbed to that top 5 Author spot in my heart. This book was just
SO . BLOODY . BRILLIANT
Keigo has a way to capture your heart from the very first chapter of the story. He'll throw in a line to hook us up, gives us the killer and then, brings us to solve the technicalities of the murder. For this one, he had brought us to a murder that is just so perfectly planned and so well curated, it just seemed so.... impossible to achieve, and yet it happened anyways, and it worked.
In this book, we follow a curious case of a man who was found dead, poisoned in his own home. As usual, we also get the different perspectives of and point of views in this book, and whilst I had managed to guess some (where my theory was correct), but to actually execute the murder? I was totally minbdlowned.
This book really showed how Keigo utilized his knowledge in Engineering. Gosh, the way I geeked out with Yukawa with his experiments to prove his theory, I just.. Agh. I had a lot of fun reading this and you'll still get that emotional depth with Keigo's characters. We were also introduced with a new character in here, and I LOVE HER SO MUCH. Her interactions with Yukawa is just so freaking cute :') Its so geeky but I'm all for those smart brains anyway :') Smart is the new sexy they say.
I also like in this book on how Keigo describes women and how scary a woman can be :') The misogynistic side of men in here is disgusting (well except for Yukawa and Kusanagi), but I like how Keigo highlighted the role of the women characters in this book which has me smiling creepily.

“It’s not a calculation. It’s a smart woman’s instinct for self defense.”
Just another starling work from Keigo. Honestly, I can't get enough of his works, they're just freaking amazing. Loved every single page of the book. The technicalities, the depth and also the mystery itself. It was such a wonderful journey reading this book, and I sincerely, HIGHLY, recommend this book to EVERYONE.
