About the book

One of Time's 100 Best Mystery and Thriller Books of All Time

Yasuko lives a quiet life, working in a Tokyo bento shop, a good mother to her only child. But when her ex-husband appears at her door without warning one day, her comfortable world is shattered.

When Detective Kusanagi of the Tokyo Police tries to piece together the events of that day, he finds himself confronted by the most puzzling, mysterious circumstances he has ever investigated. Nothing quite makes sense, and it will take a genius to understand the genius behind this particular crime...

One of the biggest-selling Japanese thrillers ever, and the inspiration for a cult film, The Devotion of Suspect X is now being discovered across the world. Its blend of a page-turning story, evocative Tokyo setting and utterly surprising ending make it a must-read for anyone interested in international fiction.

I thought this was a solid mystery and I really didn't see the plot twist coming for the resolution. It was tragic and oh so human. Nevertheless only a So-So for me because of the drag in the middle, the wooden dialogues and the weird relationship between the detective and the physicists who were supposed to be friends.

I was beginning to wonder if I would ever read a book with a great twist. This one caught me off guard and now I cannot wait to read all of the other books!
