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.
