Salvation of a Saint by Keigo Higashino

4.0

This clever tale opens with Yoshitaka coolly telling his wife that he plans to leave her since they remain childless after a year of marriage; this should not take his wife by surprise since he had made this clear when they got married. His wife Ayane, is hurt by his cold cruelty and shortly later, when Yoshitaka is found dead by Ayane's protege Hiromi, poisoned by arsenic-laced coffee, Ayane is the prime suspect. Yet, she was hundreds of miles away visiting her parents when he is murdered and Tokyo Police Detective Kusanagi, his assistant, Kaoru Utsumi, with the help of Prof Yukawa aka Detective Galileo, must figure out how exactly his murder was carried out.
