[Mizuki · Rating 4 out of 5]

AID is an entertaining enough murder mystery novel with an outstanding crew of cops as the main characters. This time the mystery is well set enough (a mysterious figure who convinces people to commit suicide?) as the story takes us to the dark side of the internet: suicide websites.

The opening and the development parts of the story are nice, and things are really intensive when an Otaku cop got kidnapped, then his coworkers and the victim's girlfriend must race against the clock to save his life, but the revealing of 'the evil mastermind' really turns out underwhelming for me. Although the explanation is a logical one but there is no shock value or surprise in it. 3.7 stars.

Good, but not as engaging as the earlier books. It took me very long to get into and the conclusion was kind of a let down too, so that was a pity.
