Although I am not a big fan of mystery/detective novels, this book has been a wild ride. It makes me question every motive, every clue in the process of finding the culprit. A good read no matter what genre you’re into.
Higashino has a sharp tone, and the way he writes is quite different from what I normally read. He writes from a third person to give a more unbiased view. Sometimes, a character will have their monologue or inner voice so we would understand more about them and how they think. The book is like a big map with different hidden parts unravel as you read.
He picks 2 extinguish detectives, one is a male who has feelings for the main suspect, another one is a young female who thinks totally opposite. The wife is also very interesting to read, I personally think it is too obvious that she is the killer so I’m still waiting for the big twist.
This book had me guessing for days. Sometimes even when I’m doing something else, I thought about how the culprit made their move and how they got away with their alibi.
I haven’t finished reading this book yet, so I will update more when I’m done. My apology that this post is a little short in advance.
Stay tuned.
