Unique crime novel. I discovered this novel from watching YouTube videos on Japanese literature and this appeal to me as I like reading crime novels. That fact it Japanese literature and will have different storytelling.
I also for a long time had the idea of including novel reviews in my podcast but didn’t know which selection of novels to review or discuss. 
The story is low-key, with not much action, just the detective going away asking questions and investigating. In the end section of the book, the situation becomes intended and a dramatic plot twist leaves the reader questioning and taken by surprise.
