Technically, a well written book. But overall, the characters and their trauma are so messed up that it makes enjoying the book not feasible. I can appreciate it is a well written book, but I won't ever touch it again. It's that messed up.
The plot was really good. It deserves 5 stars. I just don't know how I feel about the ending. I can't say it's a complete plot twist, 'cause I could sense suspicious things between Ryo and Yukiho since the beginning, but I have no idea "that" was the motive behind all this.
And there still are questions left after I close the book.
Did Yukiho really not recognize Ryo at all?
Why did Ryo jump off the balcony and even stab his own chest with the scissors? I mean, if I were him, it's better to get caught and tell everything about the old case to the police.
How about the other things, like the rape cases and other murders? What are Ryo & Yukiho's connections in all these?
Does anybody remember a gift Yukiho made with the 'RK' initial in it? She said it was for her mother, Reiko Karasawa, but later the gift was found on Ryo Kirihara's table. (Sorry if I'm mistaken)
We didn't even sure if Mr. Sasagaki's theory was right or not. So there are still a lot of mysteries. Should I re-read it??

my first book of 2023, the first book i've ever read by keigo higashino, and my first 5* book of 2023.
what can i say besides its a wild ride. every reveal of secrets and how everything connected at the end. the characters and their (dark) backstory.
keigo higashino really impressed me with this book. i literally bring this book everywhere i go because i canNOT stop reading this novel. now, i want to buy the devotion of suspect x.
god, what an experience.
