It's a spinoff series from Natsuhiko Kyogoku's popular Demons Walking series. This time, two young women tried to solve the mystery of a family curse of every woman in the family would die being slayed by a supposedly cursed sword, or so it seemed...
Soon another young woman was slayed by the supposed cursed sword, and the young man who was supposed to be her boyfriend was arrested on the spot, but is the murder case a love affair gone wrong, or was it something else entirely?
3.5 stars. The explanation to the murder mystery is rather satisfying, but the detecting part of the story can be a bit long winded, the story is entertaining enough, will keep my eyes on more books from this series.
