English translation seemed a bit rough, but story concept was interesting. Author was a teenager when book was written.

I bought this book a few days ago and I found it to be a fine read. I'm interested about what's going to happen in next episodes. The book is a bit expensive imo but e-book version should appear soon and it'll most probably be cheaper. The cover and feel of the paperback is cool, though. The front picture looks nice and it has a glossy finish. Anyway, this detective story is more of a gentle which is good imo. If you expect something really serious and even disgusting at times, you may be disappointed. There are even some humor moments in this book and the 1940s and Hawaii make the whole book a comfortable reading experience imo. If you like detective stories, check this one out for sure.
