This is a difficult one for me to rate as the mystery and character development was quite well done, but not being familiar with Japan or so many of the Japanese terms, I found it to be a difficult read, which impeded my enjoyment. I did find the various characters complete with their interesting flaws and quirks fun and appreciated the main detective's problem with his work life balance. Thanks to Edelweiss+ for the digital ARC. 3.25/5
