Different mysteries stand out in their own different ways. Some, like Agatha Christie’s The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, are celebrated for its shocking reveal of the culprit. On the other hand, I remember being so haunted by Five Little Pigs - another of Christie’s works - for a completely different reason. Solving a 20-year-old cold case isn’t all that exciting, in complete honesty, but I was struck by how tragic the story was.
The Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino is a mix of both. It’s a shocker - but not because of a shocking culprit! - that sends you on a rollercoaster of emotions.
