rating : 3,5 ⭐
aku lebih suka buku sebelumnya yang "the honjin murders". di buku ini terlalu banyak deskripsi yang terlalu panjang dijelaskan (menurutku). tapi aku tetap suka keseluruhan ceritanya. dan di buku ini, intuisiku dari awal tentang siapa pelakunya ternyata tepat sekali.

An isolated community, family secrets, brutal murders…an ideal environment for detective Kindaichi…

Death on Gokumon Island by Seishi Yokomizo is chronologically the second in the series…set a year after World War II.

Freshly recovering from his service during the war, Kindaichi travels to a distant island on a favor for a friend..:only to find death and secrets waiting…

Set nine years after the first story of the Honjin Murders, Kindaichi is a man in a changed world after the war. A duty to a deceased friend pushes him to try and protect his family from an unknown killer with unknown motives.

Rather than use a locked room as part of the murder, the author uses the sprawling island to its fullest…along with the close knit quirky community which provide a wealth of suspects.

I more focused mystery that I rather enjoyed…
