What They're Saying

Critics Review

As fiendishly clever as The Devotion of Suspect X…Higashino offers one twist after another, all of which touch on the theme suggested by the book’s title. Readers will marvel at the artful way the plot builds to the solution of Hidaka’s murder. - Publishers Weekly on Malice

Keigo Higashino again proves his mastery of the diabolical puzzle mystery with Malice, a story with more turns, twists, switchbacks and sudden stops than a Tokyo highway during Golden Week. - New York Times

An exceptional study of the psychology of murder as well as a skilfully plotted narrative. - Independent on Malice

Keigo Higashino combines Dostoyevskian psychological realism with classic detective-story puzzles reminiscent of Agatha Christie and E.C. Bentley. - Wall Street Journal on Malice
