such an interesting way to unfold the mystery of the murder of mineko mitsui. the character "kaga" really gives me a strong impression from the start to the end! if i have to say, he's the mystery itself. the plot started from investigating a local rice snack shop to the murderer himself. what i love the most about this book is how higashino describe the alley with a lot of traditional shops (which makes me wants to come) and he described every single place in details which amaze me a lot. it's not quite a plot-twist when you see it coming in like half of the book but still, the way "kaga" unfold the mystery is very fun and interesting to be read.
