One of the much easier-to-follow and excellent whodunit murder-mysteries I've read this year, with recaps happening every so often in the book and a fun detective in Kindaichi who won't let a detail go to waste. With a large cast of characters and a stunning amount of great twists at the heart of a patriarch's murder, I loved every bit of this. It's Knives Out but with a dynamic 1940s Japanese setting.
