I'm an avid reader of history, politics, biographies, and true crime.
I love procedural shows, most anything supernatural or ghost related, and adore documentaries.
Superhero movies are amazing as are anything action, thriller, or horror, and the more (well-done) CGI the happier I am. But I'm picky about plot if I'm expecting there to be one.
I'm extremely eclectic in my music tastes, ranging from classical to Scandinavian death metal.

The basic plot involves 2 missing girls: the 1989 kidnap and murder of a 7 year old and the more recent disappearance of Press Director Mikami's teenage daughter. With the anniversary of the original crime coming up, Mikami is charged with organizing a PR visit by the police commissioner to the family of the murdered 7 year old and discovers a previously unseen clue in the case files along the way. The insight into the minutiae of Japanese daily life is fascinating: the sense of failure Mikami feels from having been transferred to criminal investigations to press director, cops stopping to purchase a visiting gift of rice crackers before stopping at the victim's home, Mikami's knowledge from the glimpse of a home shrine that a key witness has passed away.
While this can be a slow read, I suggest sticking with it. Take it in small doses. It's worth it.
