It reminds me of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time: quirky, introspective, dark.

I took my time with reading it so I feel like I can't appreciate it fully because I forgot the details. I adored the protagonist and her relationships, a little kooky but in a charming way. It feels like the book is not really even about the murders, since there's not much said about them, but just the meditative flow of thoughts was nice to read. Excellent writing and translation.
