Review: The Final Curtain

The Final Curtain by Keigo Higashino
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was more than a murder mystery, but I'm not sure what it was. It tied in Detective Kaga's past, and in the end was a story of redemption and upbringing. Someone mentioned this is the final book in the Detective Kaga series, so that may be why.

Regardless, it definitely stands on its own as a murder mystery, with some interesting twists and turns, but in the end all of that becomes secondary. Still, a great novel.

Review: Newcomer

Newcomer by Keigo Higashino
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this. I admit I got a bit confused by all the characters part of the way through. It also is a tad too neat (a few too many reconciliations and 'feel good' moments for me), and I found Kaga too much of a goody goody at time. But it's a good mystery and I didn't see it coming, which is something.
