Newcomer by Keigo Higashino
3.0

a page-turning Japanese murder mystery, which was just fine. nothing earth-shattering. very little character development, with the story mostly propelled by dialogue. seeing the slow unraveling of the case through the many witnesses was a unique perspective. my main gripe - there is nothing sexy about this book. not even a little. I think sex is referenced once, but only in procreative terms. like, there are at least 20 characters in the book, and none are having sex?! please.
