But before he can get to the truth, Kindaichi must uncover the Tsubakis' most disturbing secrets, while the gruesome murders continue ...

great detective story

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Too long, too over-dramatic, too over-written. A little dated in feel.
Strange pronunciations by the narrator, which go from curious to downright irritating. As usual with audible, there is no producer overseeing such things.

It’s okay
