A book about wrongful conviction and capital punishment with an engrossing investigation.
Category: book review
An engrossing book that tackles the topics of retribution, justice and mental illness.
Even though I found the main character difficult to understand, I really enjoyed this book for its engrossing plot and interesting topics.
Not my favourite Jun Ikeido but still an engrossing read that tackles typical problems that bank employees are facing before turning into a real mystery.
A mystery book for children that is both easy to read and engrossing. Recommended for language learners!
Time loop and murder mystery… this book sounded so promising, yet I ended up being disappointed with it.
A collection of linked short stories with an overall light tone. Maybe my least favourite Higashino read so far, but still a relaxing and entertaining read.
Even though this book won the Mystery Writers of Japan Award, it is hard to classify it as “mystery”. It is a fast pace thriller/adventure with a good dose of violence and suspense. I personally enjoyed it much more than I expected.
Entirely set in the courtroom, this novel features lawyer Harashima and won the Mystery Writers of Japan Award in 1988.
A mystery/adventure book that takes us from Japan to Spain in 1975, カディスの赤い星 won the Naoki Prize as well as a Mystery and Adventure awards.
