I don't remember Higashino's The Devotion of Suspect X very well, except that I was impressed by it. So when Kara blogged favorably about this one, I took notice. When a newcomer to the Nihonbashi precinct of Tokyo is found murdered, another newcomer, Detective Kyochiro Kaga, is charged with finding her killer. Higashino cleverly constructs a coherent mystery from a series of lightly linked short stories, each containing its own small mystery. Not quite cozy, and with a strong sense of a unique Tokyo neighborhood, known for its independent merchants and local handicrafts.
