Featured Fiction Mystery and Suspense Criminal InvestigationSuspenseDeductionUrban CrimePolice ProtagonistSerial MurdersHuman NatureSummary
A fast-paced crime-fiction crowd-pleaser, it opens with a highly impactful arson and charred corpse; the female captain Chu Ke is a sharp, vivid character, and the serial cases escalate layer by layer with high suspense density—suited to readers who like fast-paced detective work. The weaknesses: some readers report that psychological description and dialogue switch confusingly, that the thread of reasoning is not fully connected, that some foreshadowing (such as the protagonist's father's past) is under-explained, and that typos are common; overall it leans toward web-novel taste rather than hardcore honkaku mystery.Editor's review
