Review: The Miracles of the Namiya General Store

The Miracles of the Namiya General Store by Keigo Higashino
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Reminiscent of books like The Museum of Ordinary People, The Reading List, possibly the Dallergut Department store, and probably some others I’m missing. Is this a genre?

Regardless, it worked. While being convoluted, jumping back and forth between various different time frames, and having a host of characters, it wasn’t an issue to follow and there were plenty of nice surprises throughout the story.

Edit: I just realized this is the same author as the Detective Kaga series. Wow! I would never have guessed it. This is a completely different genre and style.
