I am on a bit of a Keigo Higashino binge. Unlike Devotion of Suspect X, I did not see the ending coming. Higashino takes the foundational ideas of a murder mystery, removes bits of it like a Jenga, and recreates the story upside down. It's unique. I was worried that this work would mirror some elements of Suspect X, but I was glad to be wrong. I devoured this book in a day. The audiobook's production was lovely too.
