🔽 Book review and notes 🔽

A Detective Galileo series, book 3.
There is no mistake with this series.
A complex mystery with scientific tricks, solved by a physics professor Yukawa, a.k.a. Galileo.

The series usually focuses on human relationship, this time a family, but not bound by blood.
A man is killed in an old resort town where Yukawa was visiting. 
As he uncovers the mystery of the murder he also uncovers the town's tragic past.
A deep affection of the "family" that is beyond "common sense"

Yukawa normally dislikes children, but here you see his affection towards one boy who is in the middle of everything, and I think that's represented by the beautiful sea the townpeople are trying to protect.
