A solid enough mystery, but I never got really excited about the plot or characters, although the reveal was quite clever.

I’m not usually a murder mystery reader, but this one was great. My friend lent it to me and likened the detective to a Japanese Poirot, which I thought was quite fun 😊

A gruesome but still relatively easy read, this book encompasses all the difficulties of rich family dynamics and the SCANDALS! 
I didn’t really attest it to her, but of COURSE it was Matsuko fucking up the family! Oh dear 🥲


Giving this 4 out of 5 stars, I’d recommend it to anyone wanting a murder mystery with twists and turns ✨ Thank you!
