This was an ok book for me. Too many plotlines, too many investigations. Everything did come together in the end but it was not half as satisfactory or enjoyable as the other books. I did like Yukawa & kyohei's mentor mentee kind of relationship. But Yukawa's genius & deciphering skills were not qui...

Woah!!!! What a mind wrangling book!!! This was a gripping, thrilling, confusing, awesome story. What seemed idiotic in the beginning seemed logical in the end. What seemed unbelievable seemed the only believable thing in the end. I probably have to read this again to soak in the nuances but

I went into this expecting a quick and enjoyable detective story but unexpectedly found a new favorite out of the Higashino mysteries I've read so far.

"The Devotion Of Suspect X" sets out to do something different t...

It would seem odd to say that what feels refreshing about this murder mystery is starting it without knowing who the criminal is. You might wonder, isn't that the whole point of mysteries, to find out who did it? But in the other two Higashino books that I've read before, the murderer's identity is ...

Another enjoyable mystery from Higashino. Just like in the first novel of his that I read, The Devotion of Suspect X, we know from the outset who the culprit is, but the mystery lies in how they did it and the reasoning behind this impossible murder. Because the crime is indeed impossible, the expla...

Just a good old fashioned suspenseful mystery that is perfectly paced and with lots of twists and turns to keep the reader interested.Acclaimed bestselling novelist Kunihiko Hidaka is found b...
