Cara bagaimana tersangka mengeksekusi si korban juga gak ketebak dan di luar kepalaku. Meskipun begitu, aku berpendapat kalau alur cerita di buku ini lebih kompleks dan terasa muter-muter. Padahal di awal cerita udah beberapa kali di kasih hint siapa dan apa penyebabnya, tapi entah kenapa aku kurang puas waktu kebenarannya terkuak. Karakter suami juga argh ngeselin banget terlalu memandang rendah wanita even istri dia sendiri. Terus juga karakter detektif cowok yang terlalu bias... bikin gregetan.
Aku sendiri jujur lebih interest dan ngerasa seru bacanya sewaktu kasus beberapa tahun silam disinggung:

There was a really nice unravelling element to the story, like a snowball getting bigger and bigger until it reached the bottom of the mountain. Ayane is a really interesting character, and I liked her a lot. I also liked how Kusanagi was affected heavily by her and how that impeded his judgement but also aided the investigation.
Detective Galileo is, as always, a joy to read. A fascinating character that I have never disliked once.
While it’s not groundbreaking, it is a solid novel. Well written, well translated, well paced, and well plotted.
