3.5

All in all a very interesting mystery to read!

I was completely caught up in the false myth of a living dead man, just like the protagonists and didn’t stop to consider that the real murderer was amongst them.

The twist of Van/Morisu being the same person was stellar and not something I caught until he revealed his own nickname. 

The tone in this book was so scary and tense and I have to credit the author for that.
