Some months ago I read "And then there were none" by Agatha Cristie…. And by mistake I guessed this one's perp….. I just guessed on the judge from the get go and then finding opportunities and elisions were no problem. ….. A few months before this, I read "The Silent Patient" and yehh, i guessed this one too…. it was easy but I was confused somewhat with the timeskips but in 3.5/5th quarter of the book ig, I somewhat got it….. The journal was a massive mistake on the author's end if he wanted to make it more mysterious. …. Since the "there were none", I have been binging many christie's but there was not enough info and it is usually made up of lot of hidden backstories so i wasnt able to guess much….. But yeh, the roger ackroyd one, that too I wasnt able to, due to obvious reasons…. Nonetheless, all of the books I've read were highly enjoyable and satisfied me very very much….. After all this, I asked gemini for some good mystery books with a heavy twist which is unfathomable for anyone to guess and he/she/they introduced me to Honkakus *(Japanese Orthodox Fair Play Mystery Novels)….*They are typical whodunit and locked room mysteries….. In it I read the most grossing one (courtesy gemini), ***The Tokyo Zodiac Murders…..***for the people who wants to read it, go for it…. In the start, it involves many zodiac signs and stuff which seems uninterpretable but soon enough u get the hang of it…. It's about a guy wanting to make a perfect women by cutting different body parts of a certain women (the parts he cut from the bodies are specialty of that specific zodiac sign, like for ex, Aeries women have perfect boobs so he takes that from the aeries one..Sagittarius have perfect feets so he take the feet from the Sagittarius woman and so on)….But the mystery is the guy who was going to make the perfect woman dies but still the murders of the women happens!!!…..Okay so this was for the readers who didnt read it but now for those who finished…. Guys, I guessed this one….. The note trick did it for me… the thing is I just did the trick myself with chocolate a few weeks ago when I saw it on tiktok!!…..This was one of the reasons but the other one is, the narrator kind of gave it away….. By this time, I have got the hang that whenever the narrator is dead sure of something, it is the opposite…. I guessed it would be tokiko who murdered them from the moment it is revealed that only she is unidentifiable because of her missing head….. Although I didnt know the motive, I thought of the girls must have done it and viola!….I was close to motive as she was tae and heikichi's only daughter and he gave tae away so this must be revenge or smthin but it was much deeper….and I guessed only the perp, the method was too good to be guessed….
After yapping all of this, I have only one wish….gimme something with amazing twist but a bit of fair play which someone can never guess…..I like these types of stories and now I know it…..Thank you
