Although he has always complained that he will never be able to finish reading Keigo Higashino, he still chases after one book without hesitation. Thanks to my poor memory and habit of never taking notes, some books were half read for the second time before I realized déjà vu, and in my shallow perception, Higashino Jun seemed to have become one of the greatest speculative novelists, and he was preceded by Conan Doyle and Agatha. He was yet another founder of the school, with a more elaborate setting, a deeper humanity, and became the king of contemporary speculative fiction. In particular, in recent years, his works have traveled through time and space with a vast perspective to construct exquisite and complex puzzles: such as "White Night", "Dream Flower", "When prayer ends", "Relief Grocery Store", etc., which are difficult to see in previous speculative novels, which is his unique way of writing.
Great mystery writers should have a detective series, and Higashino Jun certainly has this ambition, such as Kyoichiro Kaga, Kosuke Nitta, and Yukawa (Detective Galileo) are all classic detective images he has created. In the films adapted, they are starred by Hiroshi Abe (who played Abe Nakamaru in Chen Kaige's film "The Tale of the Demon Cat") and Takuya Kimura.
From 1986, when Kyoichiro Kaga, a senior student, appeared in "Graduation" and lost contact with his mother, to 2006," "Red Finger", Kaga's father chose to leave alone; in 2013, "When the Prayer Ended", Kaga's mother quietly passed away without a single word, and I was angry that Higashino Jun was too cruel to Kaga Kyoichiro. Perhaps the warmest confession in his heart was: "Because I love you, so stay away." But why did Kaga never follow his mother's trail since he joined the Metropolitan Police Department to the best detective? The strange logic of the Japanese is really speechless, and I am afraid that one day Higashino will write Kaga blackening, and so far, it is abnormal that Kaga has no waves in his heart. Could it be that Higashino thinks that a great detective cannot have a happy family? Or even a normal family?
I'd love to spy on Higashino's "malice," and coincidentally, the most successful work in the Kaga series is Malice, which is probably the only work I don't want to read for the second time. That biting chill, the chilling feeling is not a pleasant experience.
