I didn't like this as much as his other novels. It was very bleak and kind of predictable.

Love a crime novel. Higashino’s themes always end up being so *Japanese.* I feel like there is some essence lost in translation but thus is life. I always really enjoy Japanese translation fiction!

Seperti buku seri Detektif Kaga lainnya, buku The Final Curtain ini melibatkan dinamika keluarga yang cukup heartwarming dan mengandung bawang. Pada awalnya cerita berjalan begitu lambat bagiku, sehingga agak cukup membosankan di awal. Tapi saat melewati 1/4 buku, plotnya semakin solid dan menarik, melibatkan banyak tokoh dan misteri yang sama sekali sulit ditebak twist ceritanya bagaimana dan akhirnya akan seperti apa. Pada akhirnya, aku sangat terkesan dengan latar belakang sang tersangka, ditambah latar belakang keluarga Detektif Kaga yang terungkap. Semuanya terangkum dengan apik, menarik, menyentuh hati tapi disaat yang bersamaan terasa pedih.
