Probably one of my favourite parts of Detective Conan is that each case is different. Each case is a stand alone which makes it more entertaining and gripping than a very long case. Perhaps this episodic nature is why I can't seem to bring myself to give the volumes a five star.
This volume brought more of the Takagi and Sato pairing. The opening case involves a criminal being transported in the hands of Takagi and Sato on a train. Of course, our hero Conan was there to help sort out a murder on the train of the criminal.
The next case was one of a group of detectives invited to a mansion by 'Kaito Kid'. There they played a 'game' where one detective was killed off one after another. This was a well written case in particular.
The third case was surprisingly short. Genta was being watched by someone and it was up to the detective boys to find out who! I'm not much of a fan of the Detective boy's cases as they feel too childish.
The final case was related to pottery. Ran and Sonoko (and later Conan) went to take pottery classes when a man is murdered in the shop. Conan suspects the murderer but must gather evidence.

I know I don't talk about this series on a personal level. It's hard to recommend and any additional details feels like spoilers. I do plan on rereading at least the first five or so volumes in the future, explaining more on why the series is great while underrated (has a big fandom but not a big following outside Japan). It's a personal goal of mine to do one day. For now I'll stay brief on any new (first time reading) volumes :)
For some reason I rambled on this one. Sorry about that.
As someone who has read farther down the series, I appreciated some of the moments--potential characters in this instance--that are hinted to play more of a bigger part of the series. For me, since I watch the anime and have seen some of these earlier mysteries, their gonna be some that won't stick with me while others I'm excited to revisit. This volume is one of those cases where I did enjoy it but can easily be overlook besides certain events.

With a follow-up case involving a train "open locked room" murder case featuring Detectives Takagi and Sato, Conan scrambles to solve the case before the train gets to Tokyo or the murderer will evade capture.
The main case involves six eccentric master detectives invited to Sunset Manor, the site of a gruesome massacre and mystery treasure, by none other than Phantom Thief Kid! A game of survival is afoot as Conan and the others must race to uncover the mystery before history repeats itself and the night ends in another bloody slaughter.
The final complete case within the volume centers around George's sudden strange behavior, Conan and the other members Junior Detective League work to help George and even solve an ongoing local criminal investigation. Ending vol. 30 is a murder case set in a pottery studio where Conan must find the evidence the prove who really was the killer...

This one has an absurd and entertaining closed-loop mystery that has all the best things: a mysterious secluded mansion, a group of famous detectives, a hidden treasure, a phantom thief, and a 40 year old unsolved case.

Favorite case was the “Phantom Thief” one. It really had me scratching my head at points. I think it’s also one of the few cases that I was not able to figure out correctly by the end
