Lengthier than the previous English language relases by Seishi Yokomizo from Pushkin Vertigo, this novel presents an interesting story from a nervous and overwhelmed narrator. Detective Kosuke Kindaichi is more of a minor character in this novel, but the setting itself is quite a unique character. Overall pleasant enough mystery. I look forward to reaching the fourth Detective Kindaichi mystery released by Pushkin Vertigo.
What a fantastic page turner! The author deftly crafts a setting among the people living in early to mid-1800s borderlands of Texas and Mexico. The supernatural element is unique to its place and time and I commend the author on crafting such a believable scare. I read this in one sitting and truly wish I could be further immersed in further stories about these characters.
