I bet this book was written after the dorama, since Fukuyama Masaharu is mentioned. I like the addition of Utsumi, since I loved her in the show. Excellent mystery as always, a bit creepy how it was planned. Somehow I can understand the murderer... the victim was an ass. Still, this one is my least ...
“Simple deduction.” Good, if not knock-your-socks-off brilliant, summer pot-boiler with a setup that wouldn’t have been out of place in Jimmy McGovern’s “Cracker” (c.f. the “Best Boys” episode). It certainly rockets past, there is only the merest sprinkling of Japanese exoticism (basically just name...
This is not the type of crime/detective novel where the biggest mystery is who committed the crime, as it is already revealed to the reader since the beginning. Instead the reader is brought to wonder how Suspect X managed to conceal the crime and befuddle the police.I'd actually already watched the...
I can't name a single negative thing about this book. Hooked from the first to the last page. The beginning is from the POV of an unreliable narrator. Then comes a twist, and then another twist; it was amazing. All based on malice, wow. How in the world aren't all his books translated?? Yeah, my rev...
Absence of an exciting plot - check Unpleasant characters - check A ridicoulous plot twist (which in fact isn´t a real plot twist) - check Competence of the police force - pretty much non-existent The mastermind-physicist - well, he is there and he is clever Did I like this book - no, not really F...
Excellent crime mystery. The author narrates the story from the POV of the people involved in the murder: on one hand, Yasuko, the victim's ex-wife and Ishigami, the neighbor in love with Yasuko; on the other, the detective in charge of the case, Kusanagi, and occasionally, Prof. Yukawa, also known ...
I get the pattern of Keigo Higashino novels. First we come to know the crime and then the next moment we get to know the criminal but what we won’t know is the reason behind it and these kinds of mysteries is what i love to read. Where rather than concentrating on who is the criminal, the plot is mo...
Malice is a gripping murder mystery by Japanese author Keigo Higashino. I have read his other mystery works (Devotion of Suspect X and Salvation of a Saint) and loved them. That is why, I decided to give this book a go. Malice has a beautiful cover (bloody cherry blossoms) that drew me to the book. ...
Salvation of a saint is the second novel in Keigo Higashino's Galileo series that was translated into English. This one has a more intriguing premise compared to the first one. Higashino's description of daily Japanese life and fast pacing helps keep the story moving. The mystery goes back and forth...
I was initially attracted to Devotion of Suspect X because it is part of Higashino's Galileo series. I watched the Galileo drama (Japanese TV Series) and loved it. I don't think the drama contained this book. Devotion of Suspect X is the first of Keigo Higashino's books in this series to be translat...
