The Devotion of Suspect X Keigo Higashino
Publisher: Minotaur Books

The Devotion of Suspect X is the best of suspense. It isn't particularly deep or meaningful, but it is endlessly entertaining. It was hard to restrain myself but I got 3 books and this was one of them. In The Devotion of Suspect X, we meet Yasuko Hanaoka who lives with her daughter, Misato, in a small flat and works at a local bento shop providing takeaway lunches for hungry workers. It was my birthday and I went shopping in Amsterdam, targeting the English book shops with a friend. Jackie@farmlanebooks.co.uk:The Devotion of Suspect X is a perfect thriller. The Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino. ISBN: 0312375069,9780312375065 | 304 pages | 8 Mb. It is a part of the Galileo detective series (which I was unaware of earlier). The Devotion of Suspect X is an intriguing read. The Devotion of Suspect X is a Japanese crime fiction novel by Keigo Higashino. Translated from Japnese by Alexander O. It was simultaneously unbelievable and believable. Touted as one of the biggest Japanese thrillers ever, it keeps you on the edge till its very end. The joy of style apart, very few thrillers leave you with bits of themselves after you've put the book down. The Times and Wall Street Journal articles about The Devotion of Suspect X ask if Keigo Higashino is the next Stieg Larsson (Joyce 2011; Parry, 2011). The story has all the elements of a normal whodunit. I was in a continual state of anticipation, and, in the end, completely surprised by the ending. A dark suspense novel, the Devotion of Suspect X is actually misleading in its title since the actual murder and the people involved in it are laid bare in the first few pages.
