Very interactive & fun mystery story. I loved how all of the mysteries ended up slotting into one another and it kept me entertained the whole way through.
I'd say there was a level of suspension of disbelief required overall but nothing beyond your average mystery novel.
Language-wise it was nowhere near as hard as i assumed. Definitely only as difficult as a Higashino novel.

Unsettling murder mystery
Loved this book! I stayed up late reading it because I needed to know what was happening!
The book is divided into four parts. Each revolves around a different drawing that looks innocuous at first glance, but is actually related to the mystery and filled with unsettling clues.
This book is great for language learners because it's filled with diagrams and charts that help explain what's going on. Also, the same words and phrases are often repeated as the characters try to solve the mystery, so
