pikusonali 's review for:
Newcomer
by Keigo Higashino
I'm a huge Keigo Higashino fan ever since I read Malice and I've devoured every English translation of his books.
If you have never read Higashino before, don't except fast-paced thrillers and insane twists because what this writer offers is the mundane. His mysteries are neither shocking nor over-the-top, they are in fact, so ordinary that at the end of the book you wonder 'why didn't I think of it?'
But that's what makes Higashino different. His ability to extract something extraordinary from an ordinary situation.
Newcomer's differences lies in the fact that each chapter can be a short story in itself. Each chapter about different characters, whose stories entwine because of one murder investigation. This is definitely not Higashino's strongest book but nevertheless I enjoyed the structure and style immensely.
If you love reading something very different from the usual thrillers, give him a try.
