I dont think this should be labeled as a mystery since you don't really see how it was solved..you just hear about the finished dish. Book is a bit slow but enjoyable.

The information in the chapters are repeated over and over. Found the story dull. Not much “mystery”.

The Kamogawa Food Detectives certainly has a cozy feel, but the book would be stronger with fewer, more fleshed-out stories. The stories were formulaic and became repetitive and really could've benefitted from more showing than telling.
