The Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino was an interesting mystery. Set in contemporary Japan, the author takes the reader on a journey similar to that of a chess game. Yasuko Hanaoka , a divorced mother, tries to turn her life around working in a sandwich shop. She cannot seem to get away from trouble. Her abusive ex-husband finds her and the trouble begins...
I don't want to give anything away, but let's just say, this is a great story. Detective Kusanagi of the Tokyo Police and Dr. Manabu Yukawa, a physicist nicknamed "Detective Galileo" shift into high gear to check and solve the mystery. The book is very analytical, but very readable at the same time. The reader also gets a glimpse of Japanese society in how the characters act.
I highly recommend this book - go out and read people!
