I still think it's the youngest son: - he and the butler are the only ones without an alibi between 12:30 and 01:00 - kept his right hand in his pocket the entire time during the previous episode's intro, presumably to hide the burn from the stake. I assume it's healed by now - the lock could have only been destroyed by a vampire - the father didn't check if the stake was there before heading out, he just knows it wasn't on the ground. The son probably placed it right after his father left to make it seem like the murder took place while they were outside All the clues seem to be pointing to him. It's definitely not the eldest son, he's way too openly hostile.

This seems like the type of case to have multiple culprits at this point. Yeah also suspecting the youngest son due to his odd reactions through the case. Perhaps he coercive the butler into helping him, and used the hunter as a smokescreen but he is likely the mastermind.

I find it very amusing that Aya and Tsugaru constantly crack puns with each other, and Shizuku follows them around in visible disgust as they do it.
What sets this series apart from a lot of other "mystery" anime is that they're actually showing the audience all the clues as Aya observes them. They're not just revealed after the fact. All the screentime on the hands, the locks, the hands in pockets, where the staff were at the time the murder occurred when Godard was in the woods, etc. We might not notice them, but this series hasn't been hiding them. Too many self-proclaimed "mystery" series never show the audience anything to follow along and try to guess as well. Or worse, they telegraph them so obviously the anticipation of the mystery evaporates. In this, we can go back and see all the things ourselves too in retrospect. This has very steadily become my favorite show of the season. |

We'll have to wait until the conclusion of this case, but yep, I also feel this series is doing mystery 100% right. The hand in the pocket is actually an additional clue for us since Aya has no way to know about it. But I guess that's where her deduction powers will come in. A good way to make the detective smarter than the audience is having them find the culprit with less clues.

I liked how the show took you right along the conclusion at which Aya arrived, without making it seem contrived or out of nowhere. We rightly suspected the second son and it turned out to be him, however the how and why was quite interesting.
I presume the show now moves on to another locale, although I find the state in which the family was left just a bit unsatisfying, i.e. there was no emotional resolution. Then again, that is what would probably the case in real life if one son murders his mother (was she his mother? He seemed very estranged with her) out of nowhere.

I was wondering how they'd fit all those characters from the OP into one cour, but putting all of them into London for one single arc seems to be the way they chose to go. Seems the last three-episode arc was just an appetizer.
