I’m a bit lost. At the end of volume two, the youngsters Conan was required to go to institution with were endangering to investigate his deserted home. (I state “forced” since even though he has the mind of an almost-adult, he appears like a six-year-old.) I took this to be a hint toward the next storyline; apparently, it was just a joke, since volume three opens with Conan, Rachel, as well as her dad on a cruise ship, returning from an island trip.
Rather contrivedly, they, the crew, as well as a big household returning from a wedding event are the only ones on the charter ship. The bullying patriarch is killed, as well as most of the household members have motives. one of the few sympathetic characters is blamed for the murder, as well as Conan must discover the genuine killer before the ship docks.
Unlike The Kindaichi situation Files, the main aim of the mysteries right here aren’t to be solved by the reader; they’re to be complied with along. author Gosho Aoyama provides emotions, comedy as well as drama, precedence over the puzzle. The visitor feels more like Rachel than Conan, watching the detective as sidekick, as well as luck plays as much a function as deduction.
The book likewise contains a second mystery, in which Conan has to discover out why a physician is being sent big sums of money as well as utilized toys. events ended up being challenging by Rachel’s suspicions that Conan is truly Jimmy. I’m delighted to see her character being moved along quickly this way. It provides her more to do than just hang around listening to Conan be smart, as well as it’s strangely similar to traditional Lois Lane stories. Unfortunately, I suspect that, like the end of book two, this is just one more temporary plot twist, soon to be forgotten in the next volume.
With the inclusion of action to wrap up the cases, this series reminds me more of CSI than Ellery Queen. That’s okay — pure deduction is only one type of secret story, as well as here, the character interplay is a considerable part of the mix. I previously reviewed volume 1.
