The Devotion of Suspect X

The review for The Cult of the Constitution was posted on the Books in a Flash website. I assume that website gets at least marginally more hits than this one. I say this since someone else is involved and wishes it and others gets some attention.

I found The Devotion of Suspect X on the free rack at the library. Turns out it is an English translation to a book by a very popular Japanese mystery writer, whose work often is translated into television and film. This very novel has multiple adaptations.

I picked it up since it had a down to earth style (surely partially a sign of a good translator) that drew me into the story. The book also draws you into a creative somewhat Columbo-like mystery (we see what happens near the beginning) by providing different points of view. I got a bit impatient at some point, but the different points of view helped keep my interest.
