Etsiväkoira Sherdockin 4 osa jatkaa edellisen osan päätöstarinan ratkaisuun. Tämä muutenkin oli parempi kuin edeltäjänsä, sillä nyt keskityttään kunnolla rikostapauksiin ilman turhaa tirkistelyä. No onhan sitä jonkin verran, mutta huomattavasti vähemmän kuin edeltäjässään.
Sinänsä tapaukset ovat mielenkiintoisia ja niitä pääsee lukijakin ratkaisemaan. Vinkin on tarjolla ja ne käydään ratkaisun yhteydessä läpi. Siksi tämä on ihan hauska sarja kunhan vain pysyvät aiheessa.
Piirrosjälki on siistiä ja toimivaa. Se onkin oleellinen osa, sillä suurin osa tapausten ratkaisuista liittyvät juuri ympäristöön.
Suosittelen tätä kirjaa niille keitä manga ja dekkarit kiinnostavat 😊

Sherdog also known as Sherlock Holmes, is on the case when a classmate of Takeru and Miki is murdered by the manga artists that she works for as an assistant. The scene where Takeru and Miki see their classmate with the police tape was so heartbreaking. I read that so many times. Miki's anguish...I can't even describe it. So many classmates are being killed. I would change schools or have someone start investigating. I noticed that we don't see much of how their parents or loved ones react to the news. We don't see them at all. Takeru does have a point, solving the case and bringing the one responsible does not bring the dead back. I can only imagine how much of an empty feeling it must be. When the manga artist gets mad, he throws Sherdog which causes him to revert to just being a dog. Takeru must rely on his own detective skills to bring the one to confess and deduce where the murder weapon is.
The next case is when a woman is killed when a man pushes her off and onto the train tracks. With only a few minutes before the murderer will get off the train, they must solve the case before the culprit gets away using only a few clues that they notice. The part with one of the males holding on the strap on the train instead of sitting was really an good observation.
The last case is the murder of an electrician wh0 is blackmailing the mayor. Takeru and Miki arrive a few minutes later to get a full tour of City Hall and interview the mayor. Takeru and Sherdog asks some questions but the mayor answering mostly just trying to buy some time to get them out the room. The case continues in the next volume. With so much murder, I will probably just read one volume a day.

THE STORY SO FAR
The puppy Sherdog-reincarnation of Sherlock Holmes-and the ordinary high school student Takeru Wajima team up to solve tough cases!! It's ASB election time at London Academy, and presidential candidate Akane is in danger of losing the election when her mud-slinging opponent distributes an obscene photo of her.
I do come across the strangest of books in our local charity shop and this series is one I started after finding the first too volumes.
The premise is simple. The spirit of the master detective, Sherlock Holmes has reincarnated into the body of a rescue dog. Convinced that his adoptive parent Takeru Wajima is in-fact the reincarnation of trusted sidekick Doctor John Watson, Sherlock opens up communication with the now very confused student.
Volume four is once again jam packed with mysteries, including a short story, the conclusion to the mystery started in volume 3, a new mystery, and some bonus content.
Sherdog has a tendency to 'witness' the crime or the perpetrator fleeing the scene rather than coming upon the mystery 'blind', so to speak, but still needs to use all his deductive powers to bring the suspect to justice. A nice touch was Sherdog reverting to being just a normal puppy after being violently assaulted, leading to panic from Takeru. I also enjoyed the horror manga artist story and the possibility of Moriarty being reincarnated as a cat! 4 1/2 stars.

I admittedly skipped the first "mystery" in this volume because it was just one of the ones that I found uncomfortable. That has been the case for a few in this series. I'm assuming that it may be a cultural thing.
At any rate, I found this one mostly enjoyable.

I think this is the one with Meowiarty in it and if that's right it's just great. Plus I like the mystery and the personal level it takes. A solid volume to a weird series.

This volume was a little better, but this is still nowhere Arthur Conan Doyle territory. It's a nice change of pace from other manga.

At long last, we get a mystery where we don't know who did it. I absolutely loved it.
My only complaint is Meowriarty. He appears in one chapter, but doesn't reappear in the rest of the chapters in this book. That was a little disappointing.
