Very compelling and fascinating, a rare insight into women and into the very competitive nature of Japanese society. I highly recommend it!
He's just fascinating, and the way his detective goes about an investigation is unlike any other I ever read before. And I've read quite a few in my time 🙂
It's like a Russian doll: when you think you've reached the solution, the author surprises you by providing more plausible explanations that, with the addition of both relevant and irrelevant details, bring you closer to the truth until it's a perfect bull,s eye. I am fascinated by this author. His narrative style, his character building and his plot enfolding are all amazing and always startling in their unexpectedeness.
