Bingos Among the Bodies

Malice by Keigo Higashino

October 12, 2022 by esmemoria 2 Comments

CBR Bingo: Body I was very excited a month ago, because I was starting a book that would finally give me a bingo—two, in point of fact. And then…nothing. I couldn’t get started for love or money. “Nooooo” I wailed, tearing my shirt like Stanley Kowalski and screaming, “Bingo! BINGO!” Luckily, narfna’s review of Keigo Higashino’s Malice saved the day. Malice features the brutal murder of a successful writer and the detective, Kyoichiro Kaga, who pursues the case. Like a lot of newer books I’ve […]

Triple Cannonballing with one of the cleverest books I’ve ever read. #CBRBINGO – Minds

Malice (Detective Kyoichiro Kaga, #1) by Keigo Higashino

September 26, 2022 by narfna 10 Comments

Well, this was a ride. Malice was one of the most interesting and compelling mysteries I’ve ever read. I love it when authors play with the format of a genre, and that seems to be something Higashino does well. I really can’t say too much about this one without completely spoiling it, but this book’s plot covers the murder and murder investigation of the famous Japanese novelist, Kunihiko Hidaka. The book is told in alternating POVs from Hidaka’s childhood friend, Osamu—who is writing a chronicle of […]

You don’t have to hide it from me.

The Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino

May 12, 2019 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

So this book has an interesting cover and makes it look like it’s like some kind of re imagining of the mystery and suspense genre. Instead, this might have been among the blandest mystery novels I’ve ever read. The crime is perfectly fine…an abusive ex-husband is killed while attacking his ex-wife and ex-stepdaughter. The mom panics and while trying to figure out her next steps, her next door neighbor comes over and offers to help her hide the body. Why? Because he’s been secretly in-love […]

Yes, but what’s the name of the translator?

The Name of the Game is a Kidnapping by Keigo Higashino

March 18, 2017 by pluiedenovembre 2 Comments

Right from the very first lines this felt wrong. After struggling with the style for almost 15% of the novel, I decided to check the name of the translator and it’s not the same one who did all the other Keigo Higashino novels I have read in English. I understand that it isn’t always possible to work with the same translator but a good translation is supposed to make the reader forget she’s not reading the original work and that is simply not the case […]

Elementary, my dear.

Salvation of a Saint by Keigo Higashino

March 17, 2017 by ingres77 2 Comments

Yoshitake Mashiba is the CEO of a Tokyo company, and despite being married to the “perfect wife”, he wants to end the marriage because she can’t provide him with children. He has put everything in his personal life on hold until he accomplishes this, his one and only goal. Needless to say, he isn’t a particularly sympathetic character. Ayame, his wife, leaves town to visit her family, and Yoshitake dies suddenly, two days later, from poisoned coffee. Though she has a motive, her alibi is […]

A cavalcade of finery, from existential nihilism to haunted funeral attire.

I’ve fallen further behind in my reviews than I ever have. So, I’ve decided to do what I did for The Dresden Files: combine my reviews into one giant post. Is that cheating? I feel like that’s cheating. The longer I drag this out, though, the more I’m likely to fall behind. The Stranger, by Albert Camus (5 stars) Firstly, I read this because it’s one of the most frequently cited great novels from French literature. In my quest to read more classic novels this […]
