Super captivating, I loved how it was purely dialogue, being told a story through a reading a story. 
You constantly are left wondering would could possibly be unveiled next, who has dark secrets and who you can trust.
The use of the floor plan's  throughout the book felt like you could invision yourself in the house and fall into the "day dream" of Kurihara's theories.

A thrilling story about family legacy, betrayal, with a truly sad undertone.

Felt a bit flat compared to Strange Pictures. The characters didn’t feel as fleshed out and too much explaining/leaps to conclusions.

Loved this one! Dark and sinister, but still leaves room for your own interpretation in places, making it more imaginative. I'll definitely be looking at floor plans differently in the future...

Truly the ending was the best part. I read it in one sitting and the entire time I thought it was entertaining, but too far-fetched. I stand by that part, but a good read is a good read. Uketsu absolutely has a new fan in me. I liked Strange Pictures better, but still thoroughly enjoyed this one as well.

More of Uketsu's wonderfully readable "exhibit" oriented mysteries. Strange Pictures used sketches, Strange Houses uses home schematics/floorplans. Super enjoyable even if the actual mysteries are a bit elusive but that was also the case for the first one. Definitely planning on rereading these. Looking forward to the next one!

I definitely didn’t connect with this one as much as Strange Pictures, but still felt oddly satisfied in the end.
Even though it was left very open ended
I had to read the last chapter twice to untangle my brain…but I’m not sure it worked. I’ll be mulling this one over for a while.
