About This Novel

"Masked Hotel" mainly tells the story of the serial murders that occurred in the high-end hotel "Tokyo Cortesia". Kosuke Nitta, the detective from the Metropolitan Police Department who is responsible for tracking the incident, sneaks into the hotel disguised as a waiter and explores the mystery of the serial murders with the receptionist Naomi Yamagishi. The story begins with a series of codes left at the scene of three consecutive murders in Tokyo. The investigation headquarters analyzed the codes of these three incidents and deduced that the fourth murder would occur at the "Tokyo Cortesia Hotel". In order to prevent the fourth incident from happening, several investigators were placed in the hotel to conduct search operations as waiters. One of the investigators is Detective Kosuke Nitta of the First Investigation Division. Yamagishi Naomi, the outstanding front desk receptionist appointed by the hotel to serve as Nitta Kosuke's assistant, had a disagreement with Nitta Kosuke in the early stages of the police investigation. The job of the police is to tear off the mask of the opponent, but the job of Naomi Yamagishi and the others is to protect the masks of the guests. The situation of both conflict and cooperation has brought countless unpredictable situations to the solution of the case. But as time goes by, they sometimes exchange the starting points of the waiter and the investigator, sometimes become opposed by conflicts of opinions, and experience the sad and happy stories that happen in the hotel's daily life. Slowly a deep trusting relationship formed between the two. Keigo Higashino presents the growth process of a mortal through the detective Kosuke Nitta, as well as the subtle psychological changes between people from being wary of each other to actively understanding.

This book is not as well translated as the newly revised collector's edition of Masked Hotel.

I think this book is not as good as Higashino's other books. I read this book reluctantly because I like the author.
