Yasuko is a single mom who works at a bento shop and lives a quiet life in a Tokyo apartment building. The story begins with a seemingly average woman. There’s no doubt who committed the crime the suspense is in watching the police and their consultant, known as Professor Galileo, try to unravel the knot of the crime. In this super-twisty thriller set in Tokyo, Japan, a mild-mannered math teacher might be a criminal mastermind. I highly recommend this book as it was stellar and so good!Īnd yeah! The Hindi movie Drishyam is based on the core plot but so poorly executed (in my opinion) it’s nothing like the novel and doesn’t do justice to the book’s cleverness.Keigo Higashino, Alexander O. I am looking forward to reading more of Higashino’s works now.
After finishing the book, it felt like I was silently witnessing a clever chess game. The twist at the end made my jaw drop, which was phenomenal. It focuses more on the how part of the murder rather than the usual, who, what, where, and when.
I would say it relies a lot on human psychology and people’s choices. The Devotion of Suspect X is a subtle, skillful book that is unusual and familiar. It’s tough to write a review for this book without giving too much away. So, you definitely can read it as a standalone novel. This is the third book in the Inspector Galileo series, but it is the only one I have read, and I did not find any continuity issues from reading from the middle of a series. Nothing quite makes sense, and it will take a genius to understand this crime genius. When Detective Kusanagi of the Tokyo Police tries to piece together the events of that day, he finds himself confronted by the most puzzling, mysterious circumstances he has ever investigated. But when her ex-husband appears at her door without warning one day, her comfortable world is shattered. Yasuko lives a quiet life, working in a Tokyo bento shop, a good mother to her only child.
