According to Goodreads, as a novelist, Keigo Higashino has always been a good mystery writer in Japan and his writing style differs from other authors because he never confines himself to one single formula, but always experiments with different styles. “Masquerade Hotel” is not a generic kind of murder mystery where the hero or heroine suddenly confronts murder and somehow is thrown into a partnership with a law enforcement officer to solve the case. Instead, the story consists of numerous Lifechanger sub-plots from which the solution to catching the killer emerges.
