City Under One Roof by Iris Yamashita
3.0

I really really wish the setting of this one was more of a focal point. I only occasionally got the feeling and sense that the characters were trapped or isolated in this apartment building.

The whole whodunnit also goes a bit off the rails in a way that didn’t feel too creative to me.

All that said, I did have a hard time putting this one down, and there were plenty of intriguing aspects! Just missed the mark on a few points for me.
