Loved it. Was keeping me interested all the way. Just didn't like the ending. Felt like it ended adrubtly.

It won't keep you bored. Thriller/mystery fans would surely like this book.

I'm not the biggest fan of crime fiction, and picked this up in a charity shop but it's brilliant!

More of a “howtheydidit” than a “whodunnit,” super heady without getting in the way of its riveting and emotional narrative. Really loved this one, def gonna read more Higashino.

Just like the mystery of the book, the plot seemed simple for most of it until all is revealed at the end and you realise what you've been reading. Interesting read.

We know exactly what happened from the beginning, but the author still manages to have a twist that I didn't see coming. The characters are memorable and the plot is emotionally powerful. I will be thinking back on this story often.

I definitely didn't see THAT ENDING coming! Are you for real? I mean, I thought I knew the motives of each character, but that final twist just destroyed me (in a good way, though). Too bad only three books of this series are in English! 😫

This is my third Keigo Higashino book and I think my favorite so far. For some reason this story really kept me interested, more than the previous two. Maybe it was the relationship that Dr. Yukawa had with Mr. Ishigami that made it more interesting.

4 stars C'était mon premier crime/thriller japonais et j'ai adoré! // It was my first Japanese crime/thriller and I loved it! Very different from the ones I usually read :)

Definitely not what I was expecting... the story was very intriguing, but the ending was nothing that I expected. I also had some troubles getting into the book in the beginning due to the translation style; I don't know how to place it, but something about it was just a bit peculiar.
