Keigo Higashino's mystery The Devotion of Suspect X starts so simply, the reader tends to think it's no mystery at all. Yasuko's abusive ex-husband finds her, follows her home, shakes her down for money and then begins beating up her daughter. To save her daughter, she kills him. Simple enough? But the neighbor is a genius mathematician, and just the person you want on your side... maybe.
Higashino's interesting characters will keep you reading. You'll think you know what is going on, but do you? Really?
