Writing style is not my favorite among Chinese sapphic (gl) books. I don't like it nearly to the level as I liked 她的山，她的海 or 柏舟. Still the characters are distinct, the chemistry is there, the main couple has a surprisingly sad ending in the epilogue. The main overarching mystery is compelling and all the cases were intriguing. Also the extra chapters about the main culprit adds an interesting depth to the character and backstory which is done better than most books I've read of this kind.
