Lotta interesting subtext and themes to sink your teeth into, and a great setting, but the characters feel thin, the build up slow, and the ending rushed through. The solution to the mystery doesn't really work, it comes across almost as comedic. Also, the translation could have used another edit.

A short murder mystery that makes for a light read. Because it's translated from Japanese it reads in a peculiar way to native English speakers, but it's quaint. A good introduction to the genre and the style of another time and place.
