Case Closed, Vol. 7 by Gosho Aoyama

5.0

This volume contains my favorite storyline of the series so far (I've caught up to volume 95). This features 3 cases, although the only full storyline within this volume is the Moonlight Sonata murder case while the others are only segments of other storylines. This review mainly focuses on the Moonlight Sonata murder case as it is the only complete one in the book, although I do enjoy the 2 other cases very much as well. The author, as always, crafts highly detailed and intriguing cases that capture your attention with suspense and page-turning anticipation. I found the storyline to be just as engaging and likable as the first time I read it, but now (being older) I also noticed a new level of detail that Aoyama uses in his stories and find myself appreciating it even more. It is a heart-wrenching tale and one of the best ending I've read. Despite it ending not the way you would expect, it was still is a deeply satisfying conclusion for me.
