Firstly, maybe it was the translation, but the phrasing and manner of speaking in this book felt so Japanese. Not in a distracting or bad way, just noticeably.
This book is Japanese And Then There Were None, like explicitly so. The similarities to Agatha Christie's book is intentional and spoken about repeatedly. I love that for this book.
Like, an Agatha Christie novel, I definitely did not predict the ending. But it wasn't jarring or twisty. Just a matter of cleverly disguised identity.

I enjoyed this a fair amount. I like the split narrative of the story and found myself engaged in the mystery. I found the tale gruesome and dark. The ending was not what I expected from a mystery novel and it fit well with this story.

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.
