Second book in the Saburo Sugimura series, this novel is quite slow and felt very long. I liked it overall, and I want to continue the series, but it is not my favourite detective novel.
Series: Saburo Sugimura series (杉村三郎シリーズ)
Saburo Sugimura is not a private detective, at least, not in the first books of the series… His step-father is the CEO of a big corporation who forced him to work for his company, which meant giving up his job as editor in a publishing house specialised in children’s books. When the occasion arises though, Saburo Sugimura starts investigating and realises that he enjoys playing the detective.
First novel in the Saburo Sugimura series,『誰か』is a slow-paced investigation that introduces the reader to the protagonist Saburo Sugimura as he still works as a salary man and has nothing to do with crime and investigation.
