Pembunuhan di Nihonbashi (The Newcomer) by Keigo Higashino

5.0

The story starts off kinda slow especially with so many characters introduced right away to establish everyone’s alibis related to the victim. But what’s brilliant here is how everything connects & carries its own meaning. There’s one main case but while detective kaga works to solve it, he somehow ends up helping locals with their everyday problems too. This naturally builds a bond between him and the community. Tbh i’m impressed by how kaga handles everything. It’s like he’s solving life itself not just the case
