    I liked this one a little bit less because it relied so much on the miscommunication trope, but it was still good fun

    This was so fun, so full of action, characters you love to root for, beautiful moments, funny moments, sexy moments... And the best romance with great "the Mummy" vibes

    Loved then ending in particular, but felt the middle was a bit long for no good reason - would have preferred this one to be another novella

    This one was so fun! It's well written, and feels like a mixture between an Agatha Christie and the series Columbo, because it starts with the whole murder then we're left to discover how the detective will solve it, and what other mysteries we weren't shown in the first chapter. It left the reader a lot of hints throughout which was great because I love reading those Japanese murder mysteries as buddy reads with my brother and we stop at the same page to recap every now and then and try to guess the solution to the mystery 🤓

    Thoughts from 40% (page 99)

    So I really want to like this one as much as the others, but I do feel like the full-size novels are a bit less good than the novellas so far, and this one is the same. There's a good 50 pages or so of exploring an area where there's a lot of technical terms used, a lot of observation, and not much happens. I feel like it could have been a novella, cut down on those 50 pages, and been a faster read which is partially why the novellas are so good... I also wish there'd be a recap at the start of each book with maybe a glossary of characters/names.
