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
In the beginning of the story, a man who have been harassing his ex-wife was first injured by his own daughter. He fought back and the girl's mother kill this man in self-defense. The story go really weird real fast. The next door neighbor knew that they are in trouble and offered to dispose t...
"The Devotion Of Suspect X" is an original, surprising, thought-provoking crime novel set in Japan. It's one of the most satisfying reads I've had this year so far because it's fresh, it works on so many levels and it's entertaining. "The Devotion Of Suspect X" sets out to do something different t...
“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...
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 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...
3.5Let me start of by saying that I really liked this book it had a good plot with some unexpected twists and turns, which is what I mostly expect in a crime fiction. The story starts of with a murder and the readers already know who has done it and its left to the investigators to find out about th...
Togashi, the shiftless ex-husband of single mom Yasuko, who for years has been harassing her and her daughter whenever he could track them down, goes one step too far at the beginning of The Devotion of Suspect X, a stately, elegantly constructed mystery by bestselling Japanese author Keigo Higashi...
2.5 stars. This book was a nice read with an interesting approach. From the start of the book you know exactly who perpetrators are and how the victim died, but the question is: how did the body disappear and how will the perpetrators get away with it? Nonetheless, no part of this book really surpri...
