The Inugami Curse was a pretty easy read with a strange series of events leading to its conclusion. I wouldn't recommend this book to just anyone, but if you enjoy creative murder-mysteries, I might direct you to this title. While none of the characters, in my opinion, are particularly likable, that doesn't stop the book from being engaging.
As a general warning (of sorts): don't go into this story expecting to root for anyone. The book is pretty plot-focused and none of the characters go through much development, aside from having periods of grieving.
