Very solid mystery , really like how this guy writes his stories , you never know what’ll happen and you’re  ever able to guess until he’s led you down that path. I really enjoy how the characters in the book leave no stone unturned and any loose ends you’re curious about will 100% get resolved and you’ll get a satisfying worth while end to the mystery.

Not that bad a novel although I feel this is one of the weaker Detective Galileo books. The plot twist was definitely unexpected but it lacks a certain oomph compared to Salvation of a Saint and Devotion of Suspect X. Nevertheless, I needed to something like this book as of late because the books I’ve been reading have been character-focused and this focuses more on plot so it was like a palate cleanser for me. Despite that, Keigo Higashino is still one of my favorite authors and anything he releases in the future, you best believe I will be seated!

It’s honestly like coming home to a warm hug when I read a Detective Galileo novel. 

This book was pretty good! It’s nicely written and structured well. The story is filled with twists and turns as usual. Most I didn’t see coming, but a couple I did which I felt very good about lol. I think the connection between the cases was pretty good. The motive reminded me a bit of his previous work Malice.

I found the conclusion and ending to be a bit rushed, and I wasn’t totally satisfied with who actually killed Saori. But aside from that I really liked it! I loooooved all the literary references and I loved the reference to The Devotion of Suspect X! 

While not as great as his other books I think it’s still a worthy read.
