The Village of Eight Graves by Seishi Yokomizo

I understand why we had to shift POV. Kosuke couldn’t have been present during all those specific moments but the lice-infected, head-scratching, shaggy-headed, stuttering detective was barely here!! You can count on one hand how many scenes he had!

A very enjoyable read, my third by Yokomizo, the detective is quite absent in this with the story centering around the narrator. I guessed the villain early on and it was a fun read but I preferred the previous books more.

Who knew a murder mystery and a treasure hunt would work so well together? An excellent read even if my main man Kindaichi took a backseat in this one.
