Really sucked in by this one - Very Columbo-esque in that we know who did it and we know why but we don’t know if / how they’ll get away with it. I find that much more interesting than a mystery where you’re treated like the investigator and have no sense of dramatic irony
There was a sort of “you’ll never guess it” twist but it felt earned, I really enjoyed this one :) No stone unturned and a lot of tension and suspicion going around the entire time.

Well written and interesting. The mix of character development and plot was solid, and I had conflicting feelings for the main characters throughout.

Keigo never failed in writing a story that feels close to reality. The story of this book shows that there's no one in this world who can bare the feeling of guilt. It's important to remember it's never a clever move to sacrifice yourself for other person, no matter how much you love them. I can certainly feel the pain of Mr. X in the end.

“Kadang demi menolong seseorang, yang harus kita lakukan hanyalah hadir di tempat itu.”
Ga heran kalo buku ini jadi salah satu buku yang banyak di rekomendasi para pembaca karena ceritanya emang seru banget dan bikin penasaran sampai akhir!
Kesetiaan Mr. X adalah salah satu buku dari serial Detektif Galileo. Aku kira awalnya Galileo ini detektifnya ternyata sebenarnya dia adalah ilmuwan fisika dengan pola pikir yang unik dan bahkan bikin orang biasa bingung dan geregetan.
Tapi dengan cara pikirnya yang ga biasa ini lah, dia bisa mememecahkan kasus yang satu ini dan menggagalkan rencana si pelaku.
Beda dengan novel misteri pada umumnya dimana bukunya mengajak para pembaca untuk menemukan pelakunya, cerita ini mengajak pembaca untuk mengungkap bagaimana si pelaku melakukan kejahatannya.
Plot twist di akhir sangat menegejutkan karena aku sendiri ga kepikiran sama sekali. Selain mengejutkan, endingnya juga terasa tragis ya setelah melihat reaksi pelakunya di halaman terakhir.
Overall, buku ini layak dapat 5 bintang dengan alur cerita yang menarik, susah ditebak dan sangat emosional.
Aku sangat merekomendasikan buku ini untuk pecinta misteri thriller sekaligus menantang apakah kalian bisa tebak plot twistnya sebelum dijelasin sama Detektif Galileo!

Wow. I'm kind of speechless.
Loved this, easy 5 stars, my ideal type of mystery-thriller.
I was skeptical during the first half because it was kind of slow, and I was convinced I knew where it was going. There is no action in the book btw, it's just police investigations, interviewing suspects, checking alibis. Which I love, but it might not appeal to everyone. I also didn't care for the characters that much at first and was rather removed from the story. But I loved the premise and I had a theory early on so I was intrigued enough to keep reading. And although the plot was slow/quiet, the reading went by very quickly. This is a very readable book.
What made it a 5 star was the last 50 pages or so. I went through all kinds of emotions then. I suddenly was attached to the characters and felt a lot of feelings. And then the author got me in the end. Ah, I was on the right path, but I didn't think about it enough. (This is not a whodunit, by the way, it's more like a howdunit.)
Now I want to read more in this series (especially since I'm now emotionally attached to the detectives) but... why aren't the first books translated yet?!?!? I mean, I guess you can read them out of order, which I will probably do... but my completionist brain is suffering.

brilliant! entah itu langkah ishigami dalam menyusun alibi ataupun cara yukawa dalam memecahkannya. bukan hanya terbunuhnya togashi, namun juga keterkaitan perasaan ishigami dengan yasuko dalam kasus yang terjadi.
