The Honjin Murders by Seishi Yokomizo
3.0
3.5. I really liked the gentle tapping against the fourth wall with everyone's enjoyment of locked room mysteries but the final solution was a tad convoluted for me. I think I would've liked it a lot more if Saburo hadn't come into it; I appreciated the reasoning for why he did but there's already such a convoluted solve for the murder that to then add more, even if it was well-reasoned, was kinda like: but why though?
