Book Review: Salvation of a Saint by Keigo Higashino

'Salvation of a Saint' sees Higashino at his competent best. As is the norm with Higashino, you know who committed the murder pretty much as soon as the book starts but with every turn of the investigation, the crime continues to be impossible to commit. There is a forbidden pleasure in rooting for the criminal which matched with the unusual overturned plot structure which makes Higashino's books one of a kind. I finished the book in three sittings and found it impossible to put it down.

On par with 'Devotion of Suspect X'. I was blown away by the climax - it was entirely unimaginable.
