I liked it less than "The Honjin Murders." A lot of characters to keep track of, and most of them not really developed.

This was a fun one! Very tricky with lots of twists and red herrings - I loved how the murders were connected to the haikus, it was fascinating seeing how the poems were interpreted by the murderer(s). And I never would have guessed who committed the murders! 👀
