Reader comments
This book is so interesting! I especially like Kosuke Hijimi in the book. He has such a rich imagination that he can turn an isolated island into a peach blossom village. Moreover, there is a murder incident in the middle of the story, which makes reading both tense and exciting. Mr. Ranpo's works are always full of whimsical ideas, which is an eye-opener for me. I think this book is very suitable for friends who like mystery and fantasy.
