First of all, what the f*ck. Damn, that was quite a relevation 😳
This book has the best mystery & investigation process in the series so far (by the time I wrote this review there are only 5 books from the series translated to english). But the backstory & the motive revealed at the end are just so f*cked up I just lost for word (other than wtf of course). But really, that's what I called 'a terrible secret worth k*lling for' and the people murdered in the book deserved it I actually rooting for the villain the whole time.
I can't wait for the next in the series. I absolutely love our detective Kosuke Kindaichi & all of his quirks. Hopefully the next book will come quickly.
