This is a shinhonkaku murder mystery (another description) where the mystery is supposed to be "fair" and the reader is challenged to solve it before the solution is revealed.

I read this one last year and found it so-so; maybe the verve was lost in translation, but it was too flat for my taste. I was able to figure out the murderer easily enough but there's a nice twist at the end.
