    I recommend this book. It's a suspenseful and thrilling story about a male protagonist and a female protagonist recovering a resentful spirit. It also involves solving a case. The plot doesn't drag on and the story is well connected. The male protagonist is dedicated and strong. The female protagonist is not pretentious or holy. There are no misunderstandings. There's no messy green tea or anything like that. The supporting characters are also great.
