Great introduction to the Japanese mystery literature. With little action and/or tension, it is a story with a somewhat repetitive but ingenious narration that is resolved in very small details. The reading can be rough due to the insistence on very detailed aspects such as the schedules of the train.

Whodunnit spanning the entire length of Japan, which lots of train timetables. And more train timetables. And lots of repetition of those train timetables so you don't forget.
Quite famous book i believe, but not my genre. No heart, just detective work, and pretty poor detective work at that. Ends exactly as you'd expect. Eh.
