This detective novel is part of a popular series in Japan (this is the third book, but the first translated into English). If you enjoyed Agatha Christie’s “Murder on the Orient Express” with its iconoclast lead detective, clues dropped along the way, and twists that you do not see coming, I would highly recommend this book. Thanks to the Currently Reading podcast for recommending this one.
