ไม่ได้สนุกถึงขั้นวางไม่ลงแต่ก็ไม่ได้น่าเบื่อ อ่านได้เรื่อยๆ มาพีคตอนช่วงท้ายๆ ช่วงแรกๆส่วนตัวรู้สึกเอื่อยๆไปหน่อย แล้วก็คิดว่าคำโปรยเรื่องไม่ค่อยสอดคล้องกับเรื่องจริงสักเท่าไหร่เพราะทั้งเรื่องเป็นเกี่ยวกับการลักพาตัวมีเรื่องรักๆโผล่มาอยู่นิดเดียวเอง แต่คือมีแต่คนฉลาดอะเรื่องนี้ พระเอกฉลาดมากเก่งมาก ประทับใจ โดยรวมก็ถือว่าโอเค

buku keigo yg ini genrenya mystery crime comedy 😭 i found the plot twist is so funny until i feel too stunned to speak 😭 ceritanya bener2 cuma fokus sama pelaku2 aja. nggak ada detektif, nggak ada penyelidikan. cuma badut. 

sebenernya thrilling. sepanjang baca deg2an juga ini yakin lancar2 aja? nggak mungkin lah keigo ya kali nggak ada cilukba gitu. ternyata pas udah lebih dari setengahnya, yg tadinya pelaku lancar jaya jadi hah ini serius plot twistnya gini? plot twistnya kocak tp kek "gini doang?" lucu tp rada sepele? nggletek? itu lah. nggak yg wow banget pokoknya. tp ngehibur wkwkwk

tebakanku soal plot twistnya meleset sih. tp setelah tau yg sebenernya jadi gampang ketebak sisa ceritanya gimana. kalo nggak A ya B

Trust Keigo Higashino to serve an unique plot in every book. Everyone comes across as manipulative. Yuri, who is a senior in school behaves like a criminal master mind. Of course, there are some convenient plot points, but then it is a page turner, which can be finished in one sitting.
