First foray into Japanese mystery, and it’s very cozy. Creating a series of mystery vignettes with a wholesome framing narrative is the literary achievement of this. The short stories are very similar to the Golden Age Detective short stories that they pay homage to — which can be a little frustrating, tbh. Less “solve the puzzle with grandpa,” more “be impressed as I make these leaps seem logical.”
