All She Was Worth by Miyuki Miyabe
4.0
What a great plot this is! Love the characters, engrossing storytelling, gripping case(s), and most of all-- love the ending!
I was quite annoyed with Jun at first-- really appreciate how the author silently drifting his character out of the narrative making it all only on Honma. I was too focusing on how Honma could managed the case going here and there all by himself with that unwell leg, thinking and guessing all together with him. It was a hard case-- missing woman, and another missing woman. But I was really starstruck with Honma's personalities-- sharp and always curious, and he did so well with guessing.
A straightforward crime, an entangled love crush and someone's hidden motive, could understand how it was all started though-- from Shoko's point of view also Kyoko too. A heartbreaking past, a moment they wanted to erase-- this was so beautifully elaborated.
Really enjoyed the book immensely although was hoping a huge definite ending but somehow still loving it anyway, like really geezzz... the last paragraph was too strong, it cut deep (to my curiosity and eagerness). Great move dear author.
