I got confused a few times because of the different names and nicknames. I had most of it figured out before the reveal, but the big one did get me. It's very much a plot driven kind of book. The writing is a bit stilted sometimes, but that might be just because it's translated.

It’s a neat mystery and I was interested in where it was going. It’s very logic based and straight forward at times which is definitely a sign to look at the words spoken and find a new direction. Mystery novels will be like that. I will say that I felt the ending could have had a little more flavor. There’s details that are given in the end that I wish were given slightly earlier so that there’s more applied pressure. Overall, I liked it. The characters each had their dynamic, motives were pulled left and right. The reveal at the end was exquisite as all the unanswered questions I had are revealed.

I REALLY enjoyed reading this. There were definitely parts I didn’t care about as much and some things that I felt were a bit underwhelming but overall I had a lot of fun reading this and I really recommend it!
