Menurutku kasus dalam buku The Newcomer ini lebih kompleks yg melibatkan banyak orang. Ternyata satu bab dengan bab yg lainnya saling berhubungan. Endingnya pun memuaskan. Suka banget sama penyelesaian kasusnya

A bit long winded, but everything came together wonderfully. I’ll definitely end up finishing both series by this author, as long as they keep being published in English too!

Whenever I read a Japanese novel, I always ended up picturing the actors and actresses I know from watching a gazillion Jdramas.
Reading this one was no different. In fact, I imagined Kaga as Jun Matsumoto's character in 99.9, though Jun was a lawyer in 99.9. Uesugi in turn became Jun's boss in 99.9. Kaga's characterization is just similar to Jun's in the drama, quirky, quick-witted, secretive when he figured out stuff before anyone else.
Mineko Matsui I pictured was that woman who was the lead character in Kimi wa Petto who adopted Jun's character in that drama (yes another Jun drama.)
I could totally make a cast of characters chart with the actors' photos beside each one. haha.
Sorry this wasn't an actual review of the story itself. I just wanna relay how I pictured the cast of characters... or maybe I just miss Jun (and Arashi) so much. lol

karya keigo yg pertama kali aku baca
ngasi 4.5 karena aku sukaa! ini misteri but ada heartwarming nya gitu. satu-satu orang bisa dicurigai tapi berakhir dengan….
pelaku agak ketebak dan latar belakang pelaku kenapa gitu juga tertebak. tapi di sini susah mau salahin satu sama lain. intinya aku suka
