meiko 's review for:

新參者 by Keigo Higashino, 東野 圭吾
5.0

I think this is actually my second read of the stories, but maybe it's just because I've seen the adaptation so many times.

Still a favourite in book form.

All these persons and places of interest, relevant to a murder case, yet all seemingly have nothing at all to do with the murder or the victim itself.

But slowly, a picture is built. I loved how it gradually revealed more and more of the person whose only appearance we experience is that after they've died.

Higashino Keigo's work is as always, full of humanity. 

Read the Chinese Mandarin translation.
