Reviews

[Jenn Odd · Rating 3 out of 5]

I would describe this episodic novel about a large family that run a second hand bookshop as cozy mystery. There's nothing life threatening or too dramatic, but each chapter has two or three mysteries on the go involving different members of the family and they're neighbors and friends.

The multiple story threads weaving in and out weren't that difficult to keep track of. Neither was the large cast thanks to the character list at the front of the novel.

I did find some of the resolutions to the mysteries a little trite, but overall had a good time with the story.

穿插在日常裡面的推理小說，看完了之後心情暖暖的。每個角色都討喜又有特色。最喜歡的是古書店為背景這一點。一整排密密麻麻排列的書本，讓人光是想像就覺得很幸福。

日本好像很喜歡寫書店的故事？書中的男女關係跟其他日本小說一樣離奇，但人與人之間的情感也不意外的細膩和溫暖。
