This book has quite a special value to me because it takes in Takayama, Japan. A tourist town which I'd visited once.

How Takayama looks like:

3.4 stars. I like the opening parts of the story and how Takayama is described in the story. I don't like the middle part of the story so much because once we leave Takayama behind, the story falls right back to a very typical and overused cops-investigate-a-murder-case routine. However, by the end of the story I was really impressed by how the murderer creates his/her alibi he went aboard a train which looks very similar to the train he was supposed to get on, in order to trick everyone. So the extra 0.4 star is gained.

老實說，故事並不那麼嚴謹，很多細節是用自然帶過的方式。例如，主兇殺了三人，分別是怎麼殺的？尤其其中還有一個是有備而來的刑警，而兇手不過是一個大公司老闆而已，如何殺？一個已經準備好不在場證明的人，應該不那麼容易被威脅勒索才對。又被勒索後如何付錢？也沒交代。總之，太多細節是一筆帶過，像連續劇的粗糙手法。但也因為這種把握住主線的寫作方式，所以整體的氣氛營造較好，不會被細節分散了緊湊度。只是主線上，設計不在場的方式也扯了一點。一個年輕小姐，在神智清醒的情況下，被一個陌生人把自己的手錶撥慢了三十九分，還被誤導搭上了不同的火車而不自知，情節實在有點勉強。
