Bloody hell. That was mind blowing! It's a good murder mystery with a twist on the classic outline, looking at it from the inside out, through multiple points of view. Even though it seems like some things have jumped the gun and you might know some details from the start, the book still manages to go, turn around, and blindside you with something unexpected. 

Beautifully written, masterfully crafted. This is my first Higashino, after multiple recommendations. I'm now keen on continuing this series. I definitely recommend!
