I didn't like the hotel arc all that much, but the volume was still pretty good.

The Night Baron case was a fun time. I’m always a fan of when clues seem like they’re leading up to one person and then it turns out to be the person you least expected. This case definitely gave me that.
I also enjoyed the poison bride case. It wasn’t as fun as Night Baron but it was interesting and had me thinking twice on who the killer could be. I had a lot of sad emotions to deal with after reading this one and I was so surprised with how the bride and groom’s story ended. Really was not expecting it.
Overall, a good volume. I like the romantic theme that was present in both the Night Baron case and the poisoned bride. The couples in both were hit with betrayals yet still found a way to love one another. Its moving and I’m curious if the struggles and love of these couples may mirror Shinichi and Ran’s relationship in the future? Probably reading too much into it but we’ll see…

Hier haben wir die Geschichte vom Baron der Finsternis, und später den Giftmord im warmen Zitronentee. Beides gute Geschichten.

I really liked the mini stories in this one. I can see why it's popular.

3.5 for the Night Baron case, 2.5 for the Lemon Tea one purely for the ending

I absolutely love Case Closed - the detective work, the humor, the crimes! This volume in particular amused me because one of the victim's alibis in the Mystery Tour was that they were using their phone line to access the Internet at that time. Ah, I remember those days (the dial-up part, not the alibi, naturally).

Gosho Aoyama, Case Closed, vol. 8 (ViZ, 1994)
The conclusion of the mystery-girl case, after which we get the standard two stories. A mystery weekend getaway turns deadly, and a bride-to-be is poisoned. The series is starting to drag here, as if Aoyama were getting tired of it; the mysteries are getting closer and closer to the material on which (presumably) Aoyama is basing them. The poisoned bride story is a good one, but the series is definitely in a slump at this point. ***
