About this listen

One of Time's 100 Best Mystery and Thriller Books of All Time

Yasuko lives a quiet life, working in a Tokyo bento shop, a good mother to her only child. But when her ex-husband appears at her door without warning one day, her comfortable world is shattered.

When Detective Kusanagi of the Tokyo Police tries to piece together the events of that day, he finds himself confronted by the most puzzling, mysterious circumstances he has ever investigated. Nothing quite makes sense, and it will take a genius to understand the genius behind this particular crime...

One of the biggest-selling Japanese thrillers ever, and the inspiration for a cult film, The Devotion of Suspect X is now being discovered across the world. Its blend of a page-turning story, evocative Tokyo setting and utterly surprising ending make it a must-read for anyone interested in international fiction.

I want to start my review by saying throughout all i could think about was the manga “ my home hero” and if you liked that i can confidently say you’ll like this and visa versa.

It’s a great story and really exciting. It feels like Sherlock homes in Japan and from start to finish all i wanted was for it to keep going.

I think the mental battle was a tad overhyped as i saw myself comparing it to death note and it falling short but that doesn’t make this story less worthy or interesting. It was just a personal thought is all.

Overall a great read. Enjoy.

Really good
