I did not like this novel as much as the other Akechi stories, but even though I have much to criticise, it was still an enjoyable read.
April wrap up
I finished 4 books in April, and I started the second book of the Saburo Sugimura series.
Book review: 『聖母』 by Rikako Akiyoshi
『聖母』 is my first novel by Rikako Akiyoshi but certainly not my last. I was very impressed by this thriller!
Book review: 『告白』 by Kanae Minato
告白 is Kanae Minato’s most famous work and my favourite so far. This book is fantastic, highly recommended!

I mostly read manga in March! I am also keeping up with my 2021 reading challenge, and I read my first Jun Ikeido 🙂
Book review: 『蜘蛛男』 by Edogawa Rampo
『蜘蛛男』 is the first novel in the Kogoro Akechi series. A suspenseful battle against the most devilish villain we have seen so far!
