Dokuiri Chokorēto Jiken (Paperback Bunko)

The story structure is so engaging and layered — I wonder if he planned the clues carefully or let the story evolve naturally.

The characters’ witty banter and subtle satire added a light touch to the suspense. It’s interesting how humor plays into the seriousness of the crimes.

It feels like a commentary on different investigative styles, but I’m curious if Berkeley intended this diversity to reflect real detective work or just for variety.
