Week 33 Book 35
Newcomer by Keigo Higashino
Rating: 4/5
Ever since I read my first Higashino, I knew I will be a fan for life. It is a pity more of his work is not available or translated. Newcomer is the second appearance of Detective Kaga, who is quite different from Detective Galileo. Both are brilliant in their own way.
This book starts with a long list of characters, which may be confusing initially but you will get into the groove soon after. In the beginning, you may feel the chapters are not related to the murder situation ((the book starts with announcing a murder, no details given), and end inconsequentially.
But this is the beauty of Higashino's writing - everything ties up in the end so beautifully and unexpectedly. The way Kaga approaches the case and the people is awe-inspiring! This book is written differently, but is a must-read!
