The Devotion Of Suspect X: A DETECTIVE GALILEO NOVEL by Keigo Higashino

3.0

❤
*Heavy Sigh*
I can't wrap my head around the supposed brilliance of this book.
More like the police detective in this book is honestly proper clueless about apprehending criminals that don't leave clues of their guilt like bread crumbs for him to easily clue up on.
Honestly should have just written Yukawa in as the detective and saved readers the trouble.

Spoiler

Also can i just say fuck that Yasuko woman and her daughter.
Should have spoken up right from the start or just let Ishigami handle it. For that matter why tf did he even confess? Far as i could see all they had was conjecture, zero solid proof and even worse zilch evidence to actually pin either Yasuko or Ishigami.
So like why did everyone just decide to fuck themselves up like that?

Ugh!!! Really upset with the direction the author decided to take this book in.

❤❤
All in all, an okay enough crime novel but honestly way below what i was expecting considering all the praise this book has.

Totally random, but i wondered as i read this book, if it lost something of its magic with the translation to English.
