A bit different from Akiyoshi Rikako's other books, in a good way. The ballet aspect is amazingly written, with lots of detailed explanation about the life of a professional ballerina. The mystery is leaning more towards a classic investigation with a hint of horror, but still has a twist and surprisingly ends on a heartwarming note.

The story is full of sentimental vibes, maybe because the theme is ballet. It may not be for everyone (especially those who aren't interested in ballet and don't even want to learn about it) and it may not be perfect, but personally I love it.
