Several claimed this is the best case of the GAA series. It earns a spot in the top 5. Many praised the characters, especially Drebber and Tusspells. Even the smaller things like the anti-gravity Dance of Deduction and the Professor backstory were praised. Most people felt the ending was a little lacking. Some felt this was a small footnote, while others felt that it kept the case from being truly great.

Summary:

Still reeling from his last case, Ryunosuke is set on the trail of a missing guard at the local prison - and stumbles into a red-headed league, a murder at the edge of town, and a trial against a truly unbelievable opponent.

Main Characters: Ryunosuke Naruhodo, Susato Mikotoba, Yujin Mikotoba, Seishiro Jigoku, Mael Stronghart, Herlock Sholmes, Iris Wilson, Barok van Zieks, Gina Lestrade, Tobias Gregson, The Judge of the Old Bailey, Kazuma Asogi
Other Characters: Evie Vigil, Daley Vigil, Fabien de Rousseau, Peppino de Rossi, Barry Caidin, Gossip, Venus, Sandwich, Beppo, Hugh Boone, Klint van Zieks, Genshin Asogi

My rating: 8.5/10. This is a very difficult case to rank, since it's actually an incomplete case. The beginning of this case is really strong. Everything seems pretty simple until you get hit with a double whammy of van Zieks being the defendant for killing Gregson. I enjoyed all 3 alley witnesses and I did not catch that Gossip was Daley, which led to a nice twist. The Red-Headed League is really enjoyable. I laughed when I got to the testimony where they're like "yeah, we basically kidnapped him and lost him, we fucked up" and everyone is just appalled. Kazuma is.....well, we'll get to G2-5 for my full opinions, but he works here.
