by Seishi Yokomizo
adventurous
challenging
mysterious
slow-paced
4. 25 stars
this is my first time reading Insp. Kindaichi's series and enjoyed the reading. maybe not to the utmost but mystery/thriller can never go wrong when it comes to the revelation.
first thing that i noticed in the story was the pace was quite slow. at some point i became lazy to continue but i still continue reading whenever i get the strength to do so. i heard a lot of good stuff about Kindaichi but as i only read one book, i can't depicted much about him but he's really calm, collected and humble throughtout the story. he looks smart too as he's some sort of haiku fans and can memorized and recognized the haiku's. he also was described as flawed as he was blind in seeing clues to solve which made him looks rlly humanize.
looking to the murder cases, that was very unpredicted. i was expecting other thing but result showed differently. the case might be more easier for those who were committed to understand properly the japanese vocab usage in this book. i was lazy to do so, so i used my simple imagination to grasp on the how the murder happened. nevertheless, the murders were perfectly plan. i would never thought the murders were committed by ......... the shocking elements in it, i would rate 4/5 because i'm not focusing much on the characters as they have a lot of chatacters in this book, don't really bother much to remember who's whose but still able recognize the main. a simple bloke like me wouldn't be able to nab the murders for sure. if i read this on physical copy, i'll be surely be a more dedicated reader.
no doubt this book would be enjoyed by mystery/thrillers lovers.
