Just keep in mind that it takes a good six volumes for the series to find its footing. After vol. 6, you see an uptick in quality beginning with "The Moon Sonata Murder Case" in vol. 7. I genuinely hope you enjoy the series!

The resturant case sounds very interesting, and if the kidnapping story is reminiscent of Hoch, I definitely want to read it!<br /><br />It will, however, be a while until I get to this volume, as I've just started reading the series. And by that I mean that the first volume should arive this week. (Although I have read a few non-sequential volumes already.) It's a bit intimidating to start such a long series, but, on the other hand, that means I've got lots of great mysteries ahead of me!Kacey Crainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13492997736737601983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516189026477178777.post-19836714858211899702020-09-17T06:16:26.108+02:002020-09-17T06:16:26.108+02:00Same here buddy,I didn't even knew before what...Same here buddy,I didn't even knew before what I m loving when I watched case closed in my childhood,and it's just 2 and half year since I found it again and watched all episodes,then Holmes ,Christie and heaven knows how much blessed I feel myself when I see the piles of John Dickson Carr's books in my shelf.Mysterybloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05495648805008200117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516189026477178777.post-87751186626134533062020-09-15T12:43:22.045+02:002020-09-15T12:43:22.045+02:00You're lucky to have been introduced to the ge...You're lucky to have been introduced to the genre through one of the best detective series of the modern age.

I knew you loved it. It's very Ho-Ling-ish and something you would probably write, if you ever decide to try your hands at writing detective stories.

It's incredibly funny in Japanese (I assume it's a bit less fun to read with all kinds of footnotes etc.) and makes a fantastic case for more sociolinguistics-themed mystery stories.Ho-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673330638260132388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516189026477178777.post-34030804860760963732020-09-14T12:28:49.835+02:002020-09-14T12:28:49.835+02:00Aoyama has a creative mind and his cases are usual...Aoyama has a creative mind and his cases are usually clever and original. The next volume is one of my favourites, with very ingenious murder methods. <br />"Case Closed" ("Detective Conan" in Italy) is the serie that has introduced me to the crime fiction since I was a child. I'm really fond of it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10048428370227106622noreply@blogger.com
