The beginning of this book set up a high expectation for me, which felt fall short later on.
among keigo's other work i've read, this book probably gives the most insights of how police investion works! The author is very clever to unfold the story from alibis pov. This book also makes a lot sense if you know this is the second book of the series!
However, this is not a typical whodunit!Maybe because of its unique pov, the small stories of almost unrelavent people's life make the whole story feels disconnected! Sometimes I even questioned myself if im still reading the same book? Some of the touching stories makes this book more cozy than mysterious. . Despite some major flaws to me, I'd say i still enjoyed reading this one thoroughly.
