Never been a fan of detective novels, but this is really great. It focused more on the why rather than who. The most interesting part is when Kaga's talk about how we build a character in our head. The plot twist also made and placed nicely.

very predictable for the most part and for the parts that come as a surprise, they just aren't interesting enough.
