Salvation of a Saint
by Keigo Higashino
And he does it again.
This was my fourth Higashino book and I was still unable to crack the mystery.
So, what's all the fuss about? Well, there was a murder. We know who did. But we don't know how it was done! As the book progresses, you realise you are nowhere close to even guessing how it was done. This is Higashino at his best. Every page is taut with suspense. Few characters, simple prose.
The fact that the detectives (Kusanagi & Utsumi) refused to see what was beneath their noses was quite annoying at times. But well, they do finally come through and are of some use to the plot. It is the brilliant Professor Yukawa who cracks the case though (Is it me or does Yukawa seem like a japanese version of Sherlock? Rude, arrogant, very little tolerance for ineptitude?)
Its trivial annoyances and simple prose notwithstanding, this is a simply (pun intended) fun read.
If you think nail-biting, edge-of-the-seat, murder-inducing curiosity thriller is your preferred genre, don't miss Salvation of a Saint!!
