Gosho Aoyama, Case Closed, vol. 6 (ViZ, 1994) The resolution of the "Conan's mother" storyline, one of the best in the series so far, is followed up with a standard adultery/murder mystery story, after which the series distinguishes itself again with the formation of the Junior Detective League, which gives us a little more insight into Conan's classmates. The book ends with another strong one, a story of a writer's murder at the Tenkaichi Festival. Maybe the easiest of the stories so far to guess the ending beforehand, but it's well-written and fast-paced. Good stuff. ****
