To be honest I haven't read in awhile, I did try to read this book last year I was enjoying it as I got half way through but I had to return it to the library. I recently picked it up again and I was able to read it in a couple of days! I found it quite thrilling, although some may say this book has some logic flaws, I couldn't careless as I found it such an interesting read. 
I particularly like the "establishment of chapters" Kaga mentioned, as how I was also duped when Nonoguchi we rote in his account how Hidaka was a cruel and malicious person, I think that was quite smart, through the story I thought "how cruel could you be" but that was just the farce I was told. I also liked the ending theme of prejudices playing a part of why Nonoguchi did that. I mean if your parents think something about a certain class, ethic group etc then the child will probably pick up similar notions.

This was my first time reading one of Keigo Higashino's Books (I actually didn't know it was apart of a series 😭) I will definitely be reading more of his books that are available to me!
