The Devotion of Suspect X

I am thoroughly impressed by this book. I had zero expectations going into it – had never heard of it or the author, but it is the June pick for the Literally Dead Book Club, so I decided to try it out. I am very glad that I did!

This story basically follows two groups of people: one group who committed a crime and is trying to cover it up & the detectives trying to solve said crime. I wasn't so sure about it when I first started because there wasn't much mystery since the reader witnesses the crime, but I think the book slowly evolved into more of a character study, and it started becoming very interesting.

I loved how smart it was. There is one character who is a mathematician and another who is a physicist, so there are some discussions thrown in involving theorems and experimentation which I found super interesting.

The writing was very satisfying, the characters were intellectual, and it had an emotional ending. Very much recommend.
