Book review: The devotion of suspect X

Book review: The devotion of suspect X

Author: Keigo Higashimo

Rating: Unputdownable (if such a word exists but I have heard people use it)

Genre: Crime thriller 

The story revolves around a divorcee mother (and her child) and the murder of her ex husband. The story is woven fantastically and set in Japan. Every character is unique. The detective is relentless about her alibi, you feel sorry for the mother and child. However the characters of Ishigami and Yukawa, two geniuses, the former a mathematician and latter a physicist scientist have been written so well. There scientific streak plays a major role in the murder mystery. The biggest surprise is the ending. 

Highly recommended.
