Don't have a lot for a review (as this is the second in a long line of books in this series).
- the translation is better in this one. Less confusing in places.
- the killer had a better motive this time, but still grasped at straws as to who it was. Nothing was concrete until the ending chapters. Again, looking back I can see how the killer is the killer, but the book doesn't do a good job setting up who is the killer without already knowing who it is. (which I think maybe an issue for this series, although that could be down to translation)
- Harry really can't be happy at the end of these things, eh?
