'Malice' is one of Higashino's earlier books, before he became a global sensation with Suspect X. I am in the middle of a Higashino binge (finished and loved 'Salvation of a Saint' before 'Malice') and so far, he hasn't disappointed. 'Malice' sees Higashino use the unreliable narrator tool that is always so effective. The final act was a bit of a stretch for Higashino's detective to have stumbled upon with a very small clue; even so, the author remained true to his billing.
'Malice' isn't Higashino at his best. But standalone, deserves to be read anyway.
