Got to be the most intricately detailed crime novel I've ever read. Higashino is a true genius of the genre.
A best book. The story is told with many characters over a long period of time surrounding a murder. But not a typical murder mystery, the author basically shows how a crime affects the criminals, victims and the people around them. Gradually the author reveals all the secrets but hides some subtle parts and turns the story into an untouchable, everything can be felt but not understood. But when they too are revealed at the end, after a heart-breaking climax, the whole story becomes a melancholy tale. To be honest, I have never been so emotional reading a thriller book except Higashino's book
