the vape..

that feminine energy I havent figured it out yet

or whatever he said

The Little Sparrow Murders was so cool but the last minute reveal of Isokawa being the narrator caught me so off guard and made me think about the inconsistencies of the narrators in all the books. Once its Kindaichis patron, once its a mystery writer, once its someone actually involved in the murder.

Village of the Eight Graves is my favourite book in Yokomizos translated catalogue even though 90% of it doesent even have Kindaichi! All thanks to the narrator being the one in danger it gives you this sense of anxiety for him even though you know he lived to tell the story. Its also one of the worst tragedies in all of the books (yes Im powerscaling family members killing eachother in 70 year old books)
