He became one of my favorite authors. Next October they’re releasing Silent Parade.

Suspect X is my first book and i just finished it today AND I COULDNT STOP THINKING ABT IT😭 the ending i cried because of the ending. It was so so good i havent felt so caught up with a book for so long so i looked for keigo book reviews and found you! Thank youu for the brief no spoilers review i really appreciate it🤍🤍🤍

My first Higashino book was Malice too! I loved it! And I read Suspect X and Salvation of saint after that. I'm going to try reading one of his books that's not translated in English. It is called 予知夢. I think it will take me a year or more to read it because I read super super slow in Japanese 😬

[aravinda]

Exactly the video i was looking for. Thank you!!

[katyayanisingh]

Much needed video. Thank you for being here❤

[mybibliofiles]

Thank you for this video! It's the only one I've found to introduce me to Higashino's works 🙌🏼

Having read most of those... I think your recommendation is excellent - enticing without spoiling. No idea whether these are translated into English yet but I recommend the pair of "I Killed Him" and "Who Killed Her". Unrelated stories but similar in some aspects (I'll leave those to you to find out); the former also uses the narrative-switching format similar to Malice. His first novel ("After School" is the Chinese title) is also a good read.

Malice was my first also but I listened to it and LOVED IT- I'm listening to Newcomber, I like it but the narrator makes the detective sound so cheesy- different tone then Malice buuut the whole book IS a bit cheesy ( wholesome- like u say) however it's still an awesome mystery. I was looking for a video of someone who read all or a lot of his books so I'm glad I found this- right now you're the only one on here that I could locate that goes through them. Keep posting videos. You're doing well :)

This was great! I've never read anything by this author. Of course I can only find Naoko used for $50 ... so I won't be starting with that one 😂
I did ordered Malice and The Devotion of Suspect X. Always a pleasure seeing you 💖

[GilliganMcDenver]

I'm going to read them all. Great review!

[EstherWen]

I’ve read all of them except for Naoko, and they are all soooo goood!!! I can’t wait for The Silent Parade to be released at the end of the year

IMO Higashino is an uneven writer, the general store book (sorry I don’t know the English titles) is one of my favorites of his.
His actual mysteries that I’ve read aren’t all satisfying. Specifically I just read one about a bomb threat at a ski resort, it was fine in terms of suspense and excitement towards the end. The mystery itself was uninspired and the actual solution was anticlimactic in the extreme (also from the start I was wondering what danger a bomb concealed under several feet of hard packed snow could actually pose unless it was large enough so as to reveal its location)

While I’ve read several other books of his, none have really knocked my socks off as mysteries.
I think he’s much better at pathos than constructing great mysteries.

First book i read from higashino was devotion of suspect X and got in love with higashino i didn't read all of his books that was translated so my top list from what i read is
1 devotion of suspect X
2 salvation of a saint
3 Malice
4 midsummer equation
5 newcomer
And now started reading of naoko

[.x]

They only translated two of his book into Arabic (Salvation of a saint & the devotion of suspect X). I am a sLOW reader..
Like i finish a book in a year but when I read Salvation of a saint, i finished it in a month! It was really light, but loved it. Just purchased the devotion of suspect x :D

[anisamuthiah]

I want to read naoko so bad but there's no ebook on that one 😫

[johnyguerrero]

I had read most of the books on here and I would like to say they are great

[nawalsayed]

There this book of his called who killed her 谁杀了她 my friend read it in Chinese but I couldn’t find it in English. Is there an English translation or is there not ? She really liked and I wanna read too 😭😭

[caratdesu]

where can i find detective kaga kyoichiro other than malice?

[gurudeepranjan]

Completed Suspect x, Malice and Midsummer need to read the rest.

I just finished reading kirin no tsubasa translated as A death in Tokyo. I found it to be way more dramatic than thrillery. Has anyone else read it? Is it the only one that’s super dramatic or is it his thing?
