3.8 stars.
The second book of the series is set mainly on a series of horrific crime: beautiful women were stalked, kidnapped then eventually found brutally murdered in an abandoned mansion, with their most beautiful body parts (e.g. legs, breasts, arms, etc) being cut off and stolen away. Why did the serial killer do that? How he/she managed to know five different and unrelated women and so many intimate details about their personal lives? How will the police and our heroine (a newbie policewoman with a strange love for spice powder and an equally strange method of memorizing and analyzing details) find the killer before he/she captures a new victim?
This book is...okay for me. I found the main theme of the serial murder case a little bit of a letdown since I'd already read another Japanese crime mystery novel also about a killer killing women and collecting their most beautiful body parts for unknown reasons. Therefore, it really is no shocker when in the end . Well, this other novel I'd previously read also has a similar explanation for the murder case.
Still, the atmosphere is well set and the characters (mostly the cops) are likable enough, there is nothing boring about the story and how the serial murder is solved step by step to the end is satisfying enough. It is a finely entertaining second book for a crime thriller. Although it really isn't the finest of its genre and the first novel of this series is slightly better than this following sequel, to be honest.

The fact that I can keep reading this book without getting bored or frustrated, even though it's slightly above my level of Japanese says a lot about how good it is! I really enjoy this series, though I wouldn't call it horror. It's just a police series. The first book, however was better than this one.
