Another super old Japanese crime fiction, it has a lot of the staple/cliches of Japanese crime fiction, but was this the pioneer of them all?
As a story it was quite enjoyable and the ending was pretty fun to read, the prose felt a bit sterile and to the point to me.
One issue I had was that given that this is a period piece, some parts was a bit confusing as I lacked some of the knowledge of like old japanese building structures and building parts to really paint the full picture of what was being described.
