A murder mystery, but the mystery isn't who dun it (we know that almost immediately). The mystery is which genius will outfox the other in concealing / revealing the culprits. It's not a bad book, but the way the cops keep coming back and poking into people's personal lives (on the pretext of trying to 'clear' them) is getting downright aggravating. I really want our suspects to tell them to ef off. Geez don't these detectives have anything better to do? But this is Japan, so maybe the murder rate is so low that they don't have anything better to do than go rooting around in people's lives. I'm better than halfway through, so there's a chance I will finish it.
