A Death in Tokyo by Keigo Higashino

4.0

Another riveting murder mystery featuring Detective Kaga. In A Death in Tokyo, Takeaki Aoyagi stumbles onto the Nihonbashi Bridge after being stabbed and dies shortly after. Kaga, a detective from the local Nihonbashi precinct, is paired with Tokyo Metropolitan Police Dept Homicide detective Shuhei Matsumiya, who also happens to be Kaga's cousin. Kaga's approach to investigation is unorthodox; he spends an inordinate amount of time walking around the Nihonbashi area, trying to figure out what brought Aoyagi to the area. Eventually, he and Matsumiya figure out that the roots of Aoyagi's murder go much further back than anyone could have guessed.
