this was so charming. i agree with Martin Edwards in the introduction that it is very much a hybrid of a classic murder and a modern crime novel (60s). i liked the main character he never veered into too annoyinh territory though he came close. the Mystery was non traditional but was dramatic enough and had enough clues that it was enjoyable and worthwhile to read.

after a slow beginning, this book definitely charmed me. I appreciated that both monologues about murder mysteries and zombie movies occurred. Mashing these two different genres together worked really well and added an extra challenge in trying to figure out the solution. I think some of the characterisation was weak and the translation while it definitely got better wasn't the best with a few typos that even I caught. Its still a very fun read if you can track down a copy and hopefully one day it gets picked up by a publisher (this was independently published by locked room international which was like a two person team). for fans of decagon house murders I think you will enjoy this. Also the women characters were a little ridiculous at times but overall I have read way worse.
