The plot seemed like The Inugami Curse where an heiress had to marry a specific man in order to receive whatever money and heritage they would be given later.
If you are looking for a story with a messed up family tree, this book is for you. However, the story is easy to read. Although the story was developed in to a serial kill, the trick of murders were not properly explained and satisfied me enough as to be called a detective story. Therefore, we barely see Detective Kindaichi Kosuke in this book. *please give him more role*
However, most important reason why I did not even rate this book 4-stars is because it tried to “romanticize raping” and called it fate. As a citizen of 21st century, I felt utterly uncomfortable during reading about it.
