Book Review, Murder in a Dark Mansion 1

There's no case yet, but why is it so addictive?

| Dark Mansion Murder Case 1

8 Points or ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

The story of the "dark mansion," the mansion of the "Urado family," is told through the view of "Shuya," a young student who was invited to stay in the western house of the mansion by "Genji," the heir to the owner of the mansion, but then there was an unexpected incident. There was an earthquake, which caused Genji to see someone's dark shadow fall from the mansion tower. This was an accident or someone who intended to hurt this person. The more Genji sought out the truth about the mansion, the more he found a terrible secret.

The plot / storyline is good, fun, easy to read, easy to understand, different from all the books that have been read a lot before, because there is no case yet, telling of the mansion and the person associated with it, even if there are people who might be called victims, but there is quite a bit of talk. The atmosphere in the story goes more like a whisper set.

The story is a narrative through the perspective of two characters. Act 1 is through the perspective of "Kawaminami Takai," or "Conan-kun," who has read the previous book and knows each other well. (You haven't been knocked out yet?) This act is short, but 30 pages.

Later, the second act will be told through the idea of "Shuya," a friend of the mansion owner's son who will tell stories about the mansion, people, and events that go on and on, which has almost nothing to win or get excited about, but it's so strange that I can keep reading without a boring point.

I think what makes this book so addictive might be a rare atmosphere from other writers, it's going to be lonely, lonely, humid, nondescript, like anything can happen at any time, something so haunting that I miss this atmosphere so much. For this book, it's more of a "set whisper" than a "murder scene."

Guess the way is hard, because there's no obvious case, but there's something to find out about the truth about this mansion, but there's nothing that feels like it's peak, except at the end of the day, it's like a time bomb, but it's a bit of a side bomb, but it's still nice to have, because when I finish reading it, I want to know the next event. I want to read the next book.

Overall, it's fun to read and enjoy. Don't expect to be like the one you read before, because this story is so long. There are four books together. I think it's just a small beginning. This is in the way of thinking about Master Yukito's writing.
