I can totally see why everyone was so obsessed with this book last year. It's gripping, and I can guarantee that you'll never know what to expect. Each character's narrative brought a new layer to what might seem like a pretty open-and-shut plot if you just read the synopsis. Minato has definitely made me interested in picking up other Japanese mystery/thriller/crime books because this was so refreshing.
