Review
A hotel is a unique place where an open space for an unspecified number of people and a secret private space of each room coexist.
Such a closed yet open hotel space is clearly an effective device for mystery.
Guests visiting the hotel wear the mask of a dignified guest to hide their purposes, and investigators chasing the serial killer also wear the mask of a kind hotelier while hiding their identity.
On the surface, it is one big story of chasing a serial killer, but in the process, fragmentary episodes of seemingly unrelated guests are inserted like a masquerade.
