The Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was one of the books recommended by Kai (or Kim Jongin) from EXO and I decided to give it a shot. I didn’t regret the decision at all. I can’t read Japanese so I have no idea how it is in its original form but I’m pretty sure the translated version still keeps the essence of it. In the first few pages, it’s a little slow and draggy – it feels like I was reading an anime/manga but with no pictures or artistic impressions of it. But it picks up pace later on and I lost sleep just trying to finish a chapter or two. As someone who does love crime thriller books, it is right up my alley. I understand why it has a cult following in Japan.
