The Walker on the Ceiling: Detective Edogawa Ranpo

A unit drama book does not tell one story as a whole. Personally, I think the most exciting part is "Who is the criminal?" Although no one was killed, the final reasoning process moved my heart a lot [Sending my heart][Sending my heart]

I thought it was a long story or a short story, and it was just right to kill time. I think the Red Room book is better. I recommend reading that one. The one has a fixed detective and not everyone may be the murderer, and the genre of that book is richer and fresher (?) I don't know if it's due to translation or because it was written at different times. I feel that the two books are not on the same level (personal opinion, actually, I'm just saying it casually👉👈) I have another suggestion about this and that. Mina-san should not read too much suspense in one go. Hey, I read five books and one movie in one go, and I didn't succeed. I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night and listened to the book without turning on the light. Looking at the darkness, I suddenly felt chills running down my spine and panicked. I thought about this and that, and I was so scared that I ran back to the room😢The light turned on and my heart dropped.

The plot is cleverly set up, and it feels like it's always written from a criminal's perspective, which is very special.

This is a very interesting collection of short mystery novels. It only took two hours to read it all. It is very suitable for killing time in your spare time. The truth of the story of "D-Saka Murder Incident" is really unexpected, and several other cases are unfolded through the psychological activities of the criminals. Even if you already know all about the process of committing the crime, you still can't help but want to continue reading. And it fully exposes the evil thoughts in human nature. No matter how sophisticated the crime is, it cannot hide the deep fear in his heart.

The most exciting thing is "Who is the guilty", where one person plays the three roles of victim, criminal and detective [face covering]

It is a very good collection of detective short stories. I like it very much, so let's talk about the advantages first. The cover is very good and fits the temperament of this book very well. It is both the criminal's evil gaze on the victim and the detective's secret spying on the criminal. In this book, you will always feel the close connection and essential difference between the detective and crime. The author's writing style is very good. Both the atmosphere creation and the plot foreshadowing are just right. The different cases from different perspectives are even more immersive. Next are the shortcomings. The protagonist Akechi's image is a bit stereotyped. Although the details of some cases are well grasped, they are still not perfect in terms of coincidence and the criminal's thinking. Despite its flaws, it is definitely worth reading.

It looks as good as ever, and I feel like my skills have improved a lot [shy][shy][shy]

Ranpo must be a fan of Poe, as he mentioned Poe's novels many times. The reasoning is strong and logical. I still like to read Ranpo's novels.

Each case was full of suspense, making me feel like I was in it, solving the case with Kogoro. Especially the case of the mysterious death of the bookstore owner. The murderer's testimony was full of contradictions, which made me nervous. I like this feeling of using my brain, and I recommend you to read it too!

Start falling in love with reasoning from here

Haokan [Love] [Love] The short stories in the book are all based on the "darkness of human nature" - from voyeurism to paranoia, using minimalist scenes to contain the most twisted criminal logic. Akechi Kogoro's case-solving logic is never hard reasoning, but rather takes advantage of the murderer's "subconscious flaws" and pokes them into the depths of human nature. Each chapter is like a cold psychological anatomy.

It's a great novel. I don't know how to describe it, but the characters written by Mr. Edogawa Ranpo all have a very special charm. It's no exaggeration to call Akechi Kogoro's charm White Moonlight. After reading several short stories, I still feel unsatisfied. 🥹

It's really interesting, especially the lie detection part.

The reasoning process is very exciting. I like this kind of unexpected cases. It gives me a "new" feeling. The problem is not limited to the surface. Thinking from different angles will bring completely different results.

I am very interested in detective novels, and every story is good

There are interesting parts, and the reasoning is sometimes wonderful, but due to the times, it sometimes feels a bit cliched (it is really the originator after all). The following words feel quite sincere, but micro-expressions are not psychoanalysis! ! After watching it, I want to watch Detective Conan and Bungou Stray Dogs (.)

Collection of short stories. This book can use the voice reading function, which is very good.

The storyline is novel and weird!

Very beautiful, I like it very much (✷‿✷)

A book that mystery lovers will like more

So far, the detective novels that I have enjoyed reading are all written by Ranpo.

The writing is very good. He deserves to be the father of Japanese mystery novels. Every article is very good and fascinating.

I really like wonderful mystery novels. The plot is compact and interlocking, with ups and downs that are fascinating. Five-star praise and thunderous applause!
