A review by teresatumminello
Promenade of the Gods by Kōji Suzuki

3.0

When I first started this book, I thought it might be a nod to Murakami (Haruki), as that is the surname of the main character and there's a husband who disappears at the start of the story. My son disagreed with me and I became less sure of my 'theory' as I read along, but it's still a decent mystery in any case. I enjoyed the characterization of the main female character; and the send-up of the media and how it can be manipulated. Unfortunately, the text contains some sloppy translation and lazy editing.
