Newcomer
by Keigo Higashino
As always, Higashino writes a clever, somewhat opaque, who-dunnit with relatable, mundane characters caught up in an extraordinary web.
This book was written as a series of mini-novellas that don't come together until the very end, so it felt like an abrupt start-and-stop story with hard to keep track of characters. It didn't capture my attention like other books of his because of this, but the ending was satisfying enough to be worth the time. Kaga is, as always, a character you can't get enough of, and for a dark topic (murder!) Higashino keeps the silver lining in view, redeeming many of the plotlines with heartwarming touches.
