The framing of the narrative and the writing was a bit odd for me, but overall it was an interesting mystery. I think the closure was lacking though, and was especially unnerving considering the personality and motives of the killer.

A fantastic classic mystery; a Kindaichi tour de force. There are Kindaichi books that are too convoluted or too casual with serious subjects, this is not one of them. It doesn't quite pay exactly fair (A second map might have avoided this criticism. ) but it's very close, and when Kindaichi solves it you get even more mystified - but just for a moment. Fast-moving, yet with the nostalgia and sentiment that makes a Kindaichi story great.
