"When the Prayer Ends" is a touching family masterpiece by the famous Japanese writer Higashino Keigo. It won the 48th Yoshikawa Eiji Literary Award in 2014 and ranked No. 1 On the bestseller list of Kinokuniya Bookstore in the first week after its release.
A woman is killed in a tenement apartment and the renter disappears. There is no breath of life in the room, and living in it seems to be ready to meet death at any time.
A wall calendar was found at the crime scene, with the names of the twelve bridges in Tokyo written on it by month. Detective Kaga Kyouichiro was stunned: the same thing had appeared in his mother's belongings.
Reader comments
The plot of this book is very attractive, especially when I read that the detective found the same calendar as my mother's belongings at the crime scene, my heart lifted! Moreover, the behavioral and psychological descriptions of the characters in the book are very delicate, which gave me a deeper understanding of their feelings. I really like this kind of story full of suspense and family love, and I recommend you to read it.
Sure enough, any job is tiring. In Japan's employment environment, escort girls are the first choice for women who live alone. I really can't imagine that in China, supermarket employees, waiters, and cleaners should have to rely on their hands to eat.
A touching and realistic novel, in my heart it is stronger than The New Participants and Red Finger. It is the best one in the "Kaga Series"! There is even a certain reasoning plot, although it is very few and can basically be guessed, but this book is really worth reading! (Note: As a side note, this is also Higashino Keigo's last novel that I personally think is worth reading. The subsequent books are all average)
What kind of flowers will bloom in a world where a loved one has been lost?
——"The Day I Shot My Lover"
To be honest, this book was a little slow in the early stages. Maybe it was the same pace as the Kaga trilogy. The later content had a strong sense of immersion, which made me unable to calm down for a long time. After reading the book, I suggested watching the movie version. The actor who played the role of Hiromi Asaumi's father did a great job, and the plot was also good.
Although I have read it before, I have forgotten it in my memory. This book is the final chapter of the Kaga series. It opens with a story about the missing period of Kaga's mother's life, which made me burst into tears… Keigo Higashino must have had deep meaning in letting Kaga come to the Nihombashi Police Station… Reading in progress
The love a father and mother have for their children is extremely precious❤️ A mother who leaves home because she is afraid of hurting her children, and a father who bears the sin for his children🙏In fact, the most pitiful person is Ms. Daozi🥺She is a carefree person who loves life and is willing to help others, but in the end she dies unexpectedly💔Really take care of yourself and don't save others („ಡωಡ„)
And at the end, I wrote about Kaga's mother, it's so sad🥲
The books in the Kaga Detective series are great and worth reading. Mr. Keigo Higashino is really a great person.
What a heartwarming story...
Full marks, no need to say more
Great, hahaha
Kaga series masterpiece
The writing is good and the plot is novel.
I watched it on and off for a week, because I had watched the film and television works before, and when I read the novel, I got a bit of a God's perspective. The reasoning process is very exciting, and the narration is wonderful.
