![]() ![]() Enter Yasuko’s neighbor, Ishigami, who pops up to help her dispose of her dead husband’s body. When he turns up first at the place where she works and follows her to her apartment, it’s clear that this encounter will not end well. ![]() Keigo Higashino’s THE DEVOTION OF SUSPECT X does not fail in setting up a known crime, exploring the psyches of the known killers and then ripping the flooring out from under the reader at the end.Īll Yasuko Hanaoka wants is a normal life for her and her daughter, far away from her abusive husband. When my language skills faded from lack of use, I picked up translations to continue my love of Japanese fiction. I began reading them as a language exercise when I was a student of Japanese literature. I love Japanese mysteries with their generally dark twists and unforeseen endings. ![]() Originally posted on Goodreads, September 6, 2015 ![]()
