It was pretty fun read, saw it at a bookstore, bought it and finished it on the ride home from the bookstore. You can definitely feel how he influenced the current landscape of Japanese Detective Novels, If I didn't know that Rampo was from the 1920s, I would have mistakenly believed he was influenced by current authors like Keigo Higashino. The plot points can be a bit cliche by current standards but I still enjoyed the book and would recommend it given how short it was.

The premise was a fun and unexpected one, but the way it progress felt a bit lacking, it felt like there was more that could be done with that premise.
