A review by joliendelandsheer
Six Four by Hideo Yokoyama
4.0
I'm not entirely sure what to rate this. I really enjoyed it, which is why I went with a 4 star rating, but I think I went into this book with the wrong expectations.
This is a very intriguing crime novel that offers insight into the Japanese police/criminal justice system. Don't go into this expecting a fast-paced thriller surrounding a kidnapping case, because that's not what the majority of the book is about. It's more of an internal look into the police department itself told through the eyes of Mikami, the press director for the Prefectural HQ, who used to be a detective.
