And given that I am very adept at solving mysteries, thanks to my study of all of the Nancy Drew canon, this is unusual. Not only beguiled, but unable to develop my theory or suspect for the murders that occur in both novels. Keigo Higashino’s The Devotion of Suspect X and Salvation of a Saint both had me beguiled from the first sentences to the final pages. Thank you, Sarah! This one was a keeper, which led me to purchase another Higashino book, The Devotion of Suspect X. Knowing my passion for the genre, she passed it to me to read. Sarah received a review copy of one of Keigo Higashino’s books translated from Japanese into English a few weeks ago ( Salvation of a Saint, out in October). Just give me a thriller or mystery and I’m happy as long as there’s some suspense and a bit of fuel for the imagination-and a really, really good one (i.e., Tana French’s Dublin Murder Squad series) is a real treasure. I admit I can be lax when it comes to quality. To hell with sleep when there’s a good mystery unfolding before me. I trace the seeds of said obsession to my early years when I would hide under my quilt with a flashlight to continue reading without parental interference. ![]() I confess my addiction to books shrouded in mystery and intrigue. ![]()
