Newcomer: A Mystery by Keigo Higashino
4.0
I picked up the audiobook for this one as I'm currently working my way through the third translated novel in this series (not the third book in the series as a whole), and there's something so comforting in the way this one is written. I also love Kaga, it's clear how sympathetic of a man he is toward those involved in cases and how he analyses
While dealing with the case, it progresses through all these different snapshots into other people's lives that our victim has had contact with while Kaga gets used to his new surroundings in the Nihonbashi area.
This is a light read in the mystery genre that I personally find to be cozy, although doesn't fit the requirements of that subgenre of mysteries, with no stakes. Just a simple mystery that takes you on a journey through the victim's life leading up to her death.
