I loved this book! I read the first Kaga story, which was absolutely brilliant in a spine chilling way, and I was hooked. This one is very different tonally, and has a much warmer sweeter feel to it, but the mystery is no less meticulously constructed. Kaga draws a great deal of inspiration from Columbo, which makes sense given how wildly Columbo was adopted in Japan, and reading his methodical reconstruction of events is delightful. A contemporary detective that ranks with the Marples and Marlowe’s of the past! I will definitely be reading more Kaga stories!
