Please translate more of Mr. Higashino’s books into English! His books feature thoughtful, intelligent mail characters who solve puzzles in the tradition of Sherlock Holmes but with a decided Japanese flavor. I was initially bothered by the format of this book, each chapter is set around a different character in the story and they end up being almost individual short stories. They are all working around the same mystery but often the puzzle solved isn’t 5he question of who done it. But as it went along I got more into the flow and the unraveling of the mystery is so deftly handled my concerns melted away. I also loved how Detective Kaga is interested only in truth and depth, not the superficialities that seem to take so much attention these days. As one of the other police officers notices, “the precinct detective had looked into things that the rest of them had all dismissed as insignificant, keeping at it until he got to the truth, regardless of whether there was a connection to the murder or not.” I marvel at the construction of this novel and the patience to let the story reveal itself through the relentless curiosity of Detective Kaga. As I said, more please!

Daripada unsur misteri, yang gue suka di buku ini adalah pendekatan Kaga terhadap para saksi. Sangat manusiawi.

Detective Kyoichiro Kaga (Book 2 in the series) of the Tokyo Police Department is transferred to a new precinct in the Nihonbashi area of Tokyo. He is assigned to investigate the murder of a woman. As he investigates, he discovers a greater number of potential suspects, and it seems nearly all the people living and working in the business district of Nihonbashi have a motive for the murder.

Detefktif kaga??? Keren banget please!
Jujur yaaa, buku keigo yang ini unik banget, kita ga cuma diajak untuk nebak2 siapa pelakunya, tapi juga dibuat tercengo2 akan keahlian detefktif kaga yang secara tidak langsung menyelesaikan masalah orang2 di sekitar korban, meskipun hal itu ga mengarah kepada penyelidikan secara khusus.
Detefktif kaga tu yaa kenapa si keren banget?? Selain suka blusukan, beliau ini bikin buku ini heartwarming bgt please? Banyak bgt masalah ttg keluarga yang diceritain disini, yang juga diselesaikan sama detefktif kaga.
Aku pas baca ini justru sama sekali ga mikir siapa pelakunya, karena hint nya masih rancu. Dann justru aku berfokus pada permasalahan setiap keluarga yang didatangi detefktif kaga, sumpah yaaa plot twist antara keluarga korban itu bikin hati kayak nyess tapi ademm gt

Follow up to Malice, and while this story is written in a new way it again is a very enjoyable book that I didn't want to put down.

Very interesting mystery with a protagonist that seems a bit like a Japanese take on a combination of Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot. Kaga is notable for his strong observation skills and above average intelligence.
I really liked the format of the book, with chapters devoted to each suspect/line of inquiry.
I am interested in reading more books in this series as well as the author’s other mystery series.
