I very much enjoyed The Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino which has been translated from Japanese. Yasuko and her daughter Misato are living a quiet life when Yasuko's ex-husband, Togashi, seeks her out and demands money. During the ensuing argument the ex-husband is killed and Yasuko's neighbour, Ishigami, a Maths teacher with a genius mind comes to their rescue and offers to "take care of everything". The police investigate and Yasuko is under suspicion but has a firm alibi. The police have a civilian, Yukawa, a physics professor who often helps them with difficult cases. He went to the same college as Ishigami and their genius was renowned. Yukawa won't let the case go and puzzles over it until he comes to a resolution. The genius of the puzzle posed is a surprise to all. Fantastic story. 4/5Monday, March 4, 2013
