A novel that opens in December, while relaxing under the roof of the house while waiting for the rain. This novel made me very curious when I first went to the bookstore, the cover that would make anyone interested in the hand with the open umbrella is red.

There is no background year in this book at all, but if concluded, the story begins from the year before CCTV was found. A novel with a detective series that makes you curious, but until the end I also didn't get a plot twist that could surprise me.

I expected it to be like reading a detective conan series, but I misunderstood it and it didn't happen. It can be said that this novel series doesn't surprise you, maybe only in chapter one. Instead of getting what I wanted like a mystery story, it turned out to be just a love story with obsession.

Let me tell you. All the stories are actually contained in the synopsis at the back of this book. It's just that in it there are several scenarios about the murders that occurred and what the purpose of the murders was. How Yasuko can escape from the person who is considered a suspect and finally who will bear the responsibility for the murder of her ex-husband.

This novel is quite dense, with a fast plot and can be completed in one day without working. Yes, reading does require special time as entertainment, but it is easy and quick to finish in one night. Of course, the story of this novel becomes very concise if you have time because it only contains 320 pages.

Although I hoped for a plot twist, it turned out to be too big for me to expect but honestly the story is very interesting. I can even imagine being in that situation and becoming detective Kusanagi. My favorite role is an Ishigami, although he seems too smart for someone living on this earth but he is one of the ones I like. Maybe because he is ...

This novel will tell a lot about relationships, love and suffering, but there are no sex scenes like other Japanese novels. Quite simple and strong in murder cases and plans to eliminate traces of murder.

The intrigue is enough to make me understand why this novel is a best seller. A typical novel that producers might like because the story has a unique and intriguing plot.
