I heard this book is good a long time ago
novel
Are all Keigo Higashino's books worth reading?
I like it, it looks good, the cost is too expensive
warm
A rather special work, from a different perspective, it shows the kindness of strangers, the trust between friends, and the warmth.
Still good
The case is disappointingly simple. It's actually chicken soup disguised as suspense.
There are two protagonists in this book, one is Long Shi. Some introductions will use the words "What would you do if one day you were suddenly recognized as a suspect in a murder case?" To attract readers. However, as the reading progresses, you will find that Long Shi is a confused person. If you have nothing to do, why would you break into a house and seize people and dogs? You have been designated as a suspect and you have no idea. Fortunately, you have a classmate in law school, otherwise you would have been in trouble long ago? Do you really want to go skating while looking for the "goddess" in the snowy mountains? Brother, you have such a big heart. Another protagonist is Officer Xiaoshan. In fact, as a police officer, he is no different from an ordinary office worker. He will also face the problem of "taking sides". Should he listen to his direct superior and secretly bring back the suspect, or should he exchange information with the Tokyo police to speed up the investigation? He chose the former without hesitation. After all, being a police officer is also a job. The person who would most affect his career was his direct superior. If he didn't obey, he might be sent to a remote area. Later, thanks to a conversation with the hotel proprietress, when he realized that Long Shi was not the real murderer, Xiaoshan chose to be a person with five points of soul, concealed his superiors to help Longshi get rid of the suspicion, and tracked down the real murderer... Well, he was caught quickly (well, Longshi was not without merit. He discovered something wrong with the photos of the murder scene and helped Xiaoshan quickly catch the real murderer) Generally speaking, as a suspense novel, the case is disappointingly simple, and Xiaoshan's transformation is a very interesting point. So if you think of it as a chicken soup novel, it's pretty good.
There are no near misses, but the exploration of human nature is profound. People in society are still very different from those in simple villages and ivory towers. Pay tribute to the like-minded friends who show courage and courage!
This story is very different from other works. In the past, it mostly described the evil side of human nature, but this time it tells about good intentions! The kindness of many people starts with pressing the shutter button.
The author writes the mystery novel vividly. The content is novel and the concept is clever. The writing is beautiful, the plot is smooth, the psychological description of the protagonist is even more nuanced, and the scenes and plots in the book are like a dream, a classic! Good looking, worth owning
This book really just touches the heart. The absence of blood is indeed more deeply rooted in people's hearts. In the hunt and on the run, who is the murderer? It's really beautiful. Thanks to the author for adding wonderful flavor to boring life. The author worked hard, and we understand.
