A Quiet Place by Seicho Matsumoto
2.0
This book was ridiculous.
While on a business trip, Tsuneo Asai finds out his wife has died unexpectedly from a heart attack. He rushes back home to Tokyo. After learning all the details, he goes to the shop where she died and sees it's by a hotel known for couples' getaways. Mr. Asai is convinced Eiko was living another life and cheating on him. Now he's determined to figure out her secrets.
Unless I missed some actual concrete evidence that Eiko had an affair, this whole plot was melodramatic and unrealistic af. Especially, because part of Mr. Asai's evidence was his lack of sex life with his wife. Like please. That is not a reason. Besides his ridiculous conclusion jumps, it actually turned out to be true! I just couldn't wrap my head around this. Not for me.
