This is the third book I've read from Seishi Yokomizo.  Eventough I don't find the plot spectacular, I'm still captivated by the storytelling. It is easy to see the scenarios in my head, which I find more difficult with other books. 
In contrast to the Honjin Murders and The Village of Eight Graves, this one was told mostly from the detective's perspective, which I enjoyed more.
