Mystery!! The Kind Where They Solve Cases!!
Can Crime Investigation Stories Start Differently for Once?
In nine out of ten crime investigation novels, the opening has the female lead being told to file a report and leave the team. It’s so off-putting. They don’t even consider her abilities; they see a woman and immediately reject her. How shallow do you have to be to become a team captain? Why not think about why she was assigned to your team? What’s there to like about a man like that?
Looking for Mystery Stories Focused on Solving Cases, Without Messy Romance

The plot is engaging, largely a crime-solving story. The culprit is unexpected, appearing right next to them. When the culprit first appeared, I had a vague sense of unease. It's really good! The excitement builds as the culprit finally appears. 👍
I finished it in seven hours straight! I usually love crime novels, but this is the first one I've read entirely on Tomato Bookstore. The main reason is that each case is intricately linked, making it incredibly captivating and keeping me constantly looking for the next one. I couldn't wait to connect the events.
No words can describe how I feel right now. After reading this book, I'm truly moved. I enjoy watching mystery and crime dramas, but I rarely read novels. I saw this book on the recommendation list today and decided to give it a try. Besides the complete "Ten Deadly Sins" series, this is only the second mystery novel I've read. I can only say it's excellent; the cases are complete, the logic is clear, and the characters are very well-developed. I highly recommend it.
For someone like me who's almost immune to novels, it was still readable! The male and female leads have fairly distinct personalities, and the storyline is decent. If you're really out of books to read and like crime investigations, you might want to check it out! Why can't I recommend this book? [What?]
It's really good! I'm very picky about books, and this one revolves entirely around crime. While it doesn't extensively depict the romantic relationship between the male and female leads, their connection shines through in the process of solving the cases. It doesn't excessively praise the female lead's looks, nor does it overly glorify the male lead's. The case-solving process is engaging and gradual; I love it!
Warning: After reading the first few chapters, the synopsis describes the female lead as "eccentric, unpredictable, and deeply enigmatic," a trait I noticed in her interactions with others. She scrutinizes the policewoman and acts "flirtatious." However, upon seeing the male lead, she becomes "handsome," "pouts," and "is about to cry."
It's so good! The male and female leads are both intelligent and witty, and the female lead isn't the type to recklessly rush in without thinking. Their teamwork is excellent. As a college student who loves mystery and crime-solving, I absolutely loved it. I didn't skip a single chapter; it was full of details. The handling of the "X" scene was also superb.
I finished this book in one morning. The story isn't long, but it's intricately plotted, full of twists and turns, and you can't guess the murderer. The ending was also very surprising; it was something I didn't expect...
It's absolutely amazing!!! The plot is so fast-paced and engaging, I was captivated from the first glance. Thank you so much, author!!!
Excellent! This is my first time reviewing and rating a book after reading so many, and a five-star rating is a must! The cases are fast-paced, and the romance between the male and female leads only takes up a small portion of the book. Very good!
