Detective Galileo #10
Invisible Helix
Detective Galileo, Keigo Higashino’s best loved character from The Devotion of Suspect X, returns in a case where hidden history, an impossible crime, are linked by nearly invisible threads in surprising ways.
The body of a young man is found floating in Tokyo Bay. But his death was no accident—Ryota Uetsuji was shot. He'd been reported missing the week before by his live-in girlfriend Sonoka Shimauchi, but when detectives from the Homicide Squad go to interview her, she is nowhere to be found. She's taken time off from work, clothes and effects are missing from the apartment she shared. And when the detectives learn that she was the victim of domestic abuse, they presume that she was the killer. But her alibi is airtight—she was hours away in Kyoto when Ryota disappeared, forcing Detectives Kusanagi and Utsumi to restart their investigation.
But if Sonoko didn't kill her abusive lover, then who did? A thin thread of association leads them to their old consultant, brilliant physicist Manabu Yukawa, known in the department as "Detective Galileo." With Sonoko still missing, the detectives investigate other threads of association—an eccentric artist, who was Sonoko's mother figure after her own single mother passed; and an older woman who is the owner of a hostess club. And how is Sonoko continuing to stay one step ahead of the police searching for her? It's up to Galileo to find the nearly hidden threads of history and coincidence that connect the people around the bloody murder- which, surprisingly, connect to his own traumatic past—to unravel not merely the facts of the crime but the helix that ties them all together.

Keigo Higashino (東野 圭吾) is one of the most popular and biggest selling fiction authors in Japan—as well known as James Patterson, Dean Koontz or Tom Clancy are in the USA.
Born in Osaka, he started writing novels while still working as an engineer at Nippon Denso Co. (presently DENSO). He won the Edogawa Rampo Prize, which is awarded annually to the finest mystery work, in 1985 for the novel Hōkago (After School) at age 27. Subsequently, he quit his job and started a career as a writer in Tokyo.
In 1999, he won the Mystery Writers of Japan Inc award for the novel Himitsu (The Secret), which was translated into English by Kerim Yasar and published by Vertical under the title of Naoko in 2004. In 2006, he won the 134th Naoki Prize for Yōgisha X no Kenshin. His novels had been nominated five times before winning with this novel.
The Devotion of Suspect X was the second highest selling book in all of Japan— fiction or nonfiction—the year it was published, with over 800,000 copies sold. It won the prestigious Naoki Prize for Best Novel— the Japanese equivalent of the National Book Award and the Man Booker Prize. Made into a motion picture in Japan, The Devotion of Suspect X spent 4 weeks at the top of the box office and was the third highest‐grossing film of the year.
Higashino’s novels have more movie and TV series adaptations than Tom Clancy or Robert Ludlum, and as many as Michael Crichton.

4 stars for a cerebral murder mystery, set in present day Japan. The author's books have been bestsellers in Japan. This is book 5 in the series, and it is the only book that I have read in the series.
It worked for me as a stand alone. The translation was excellent.
There is only one murder. The investigation starts when a body is washed ashore from the sea, with one bullet wound in the head.
The police investigators:
Chief Inspector Kusanagi
Detective Inspector Kishitani
Detection Sergeant Kaoru Utsumi
The dead man is identified as Ryota Uetsuji, who has been reported as missing by Sonoka Shimauchi, his girlfriend.
The police are assisted by Professor Manabu Yukawa, a.k.a. "Detective Galileo" occasional consultant to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department
There is a complicated set of circumstances that lead up to the murder, beginning with a single mother abandoning her baby anonymously to an orphanage. It is actually the Professor who solves the murder, although the police are about to arrest the murderer, before he intervenes.
I recommend it to fans of cerebral mysteries, cozy mystery fans, and translated mystery fans.
There are brief descriptions of domestic violence.
Thank You St. Martin's Press for sending me this eARC through NetGalley.

Another lesser Higashino, kind of a bummer after the splendor of Silent Parade, our last Detective Galileo translation. This is the third mid Higashino in a row (I also wasn't a fan of A Death In Tokyo) so I am starting to wonder if we have already had all the best ones, especially since they aren't translating them in order.
It's also odd that this digs very deep into Detective Galileo's mother, which also happened to Detective Kaga in last year's release The Final Curtain. The two of them together are an odd pair.
The pacing here is off, and the investigation doesn't make much sense. A murdered man's girlfriend has left town, and we focus entirely on the girlfriend even though the man had many enemies. By the end we have a plot that is almost as complex as a typical Galileo case, but it takes quite a while to get there and the first half is quite slow. If I wasn't such a Higashino devotee I'm not sure I would have finished this one.

A young man has been found dead and his girlfriend is missing. After discovering that the man was abusive, the police suspect that the girlfriend is the murderer. However, she has an unshakable alibi.
I have now read three books in this series, and the only one that I really liked was “The Devotion of Suspect X”. The description of this book is misleading. There is zero detection by Detective Galileo. In fact there is very little police work at all. The book is primarily about the backstories of several adopted children and their birth parents. Yes, there is a murder. But the murderer just confesses in the end. The book is slow, and definitely not a good example of a police procedural.

Keigo Higashino is very good at twisting my expectations. Maybe it's me and my expectations, but he has a way of laying out clearly, far out in advance what and who a story is about and still surprise me to the point of shock.
This is a good story, part of the detective Galileo's series, and meaningful to Galileo's and Kusanagi's story. It is, as usual, richly detailed about Japanese society, and in this case, so much about the women, throughout several decades. It is sometimes frustrating in how non judgmental it is about it, but I will always prefer that, honest portrayals without reforming zeals over the most worthy most earnest pedagogically intentioned fiction...
But it was not one of his best stories at least of the ones that got translated and that I have read- it was still, IMO, better than Silent Parade, easier, the plot almost elegantly simple but still interesting. I will keep reading any of his books that come my way....

August 12, 2025Not quite up to the usual standard for this series, although it's usually head and shoulders above most crime writing so this is a hard standard to be held to. Reads a bit more like a novella of the kind that gets a. 5 series designation, with a very straightforward plot.

Genre: Mystery
Rating: 2.5/5
Invisible Helix is my 11th Keigo Higashino read; and including Invisible Helix, this is my fifth Professor Galileo read.
And I am surprised at how disappointed I am with Invisible Helix. There is no charm in the story telling, there is no character development, the plot arc is totally as per convenience and the mystery was almost non-existent; without the prologue, I could have taken out the 'almost' from the preceding part of this sentence. The only suspense in the novel is the identity of the mother, and twice this issue has been handled with just out of the blue solutions. Readers do not get the opportunity to use their brains for figuring out any part of the mystery. When I tried to use my brain, it was just a waste of time because actually there was no clue strewn in the plot for readers. Surprisingly, even a character like Professor Galileo was lackluster in this book.
The only okay part in Invisible Helix is the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, which still delivered, comparatively, in terms of action and character portrayal, almost akin to its earlier performance. Detective Sergeant Utsumi have always felt like a favourite of Higashino to me, and in Invisible Helix too, I felt the same. Which means, her character shines. On the other hand, Detective Inspector Kishitani has been reduced to a one-dimensional character. I liked how readers could feel the burden of responsibility on Chief Inspector Kusanagi.
To me, the biggest joy of reading a Keigo Higashino is that, irrespective of their genre, the books always come with a subtle but distinct exploration of life and human nature. This is what uplifts the books so much. This is absolutely missing in Invisible Helix, despite having ample opportunity for this exploration.
Another saving grace I can add to this review of Invisible Helix is that despite everything, it's a fast read, so I don't feel like I wasted too much of my reading time. Also, till the first half or so, I had no idea that the author would choose such a lazy way to unravel the mystery, so till then the book was okay.
The book has all the ingredients to make it everything that makes a Keigo Higashino book a Keigo Higashino book, what it needs is a good story telling technique (so much of the story is just told!) and a better way of presenting and solving the mystery.
If this was just a run of the mill mystery or thriller, I would have still rated it 3/5, but my expectations from a Keigo Higashino book is too high too rate this anything beyond 2.5/5, and given my reading experience, I cannot round it of to 3. So where decimal rating is not possible, the rating seen will be 2/5.
I have been stark in my review here as I understand that the copy I am reading is an Uncorrected Digital Galley. I hope my feedbacks help in the finalisation of the published version, and if so, I will be the happiest as Keigo Higashino is a favourite author of mine. I hope the final published version of Invisible Helix will be different than what it currently is in its galley form, though for translated works, I have no idea how this can work.
My heartfelt thanks to Net Galley and St. Martin's Press/Minotaur Books for this opportunity to read a favourite author again, so early in the making of the book. Despite my gratitude, the review is not influenced by any such emotion, and solely reflects my own reading experience.
Q: Do I recommend Invisible Helix by Keigo Higashino to my fellow readers?
A: Sadly, no.

"Tìm được niềm vui sống là người ta bỗng có một sức mạnh phi thường."
Câu chuyện này khá thú vị, khi tiến trình điều tra vụ án cũng từng bước gợi mở một phần quá khứ của Yukawa, từ đó lý giải được nhiều điều về tính cách của nhà vật lí thiên tài này.
Những nhân vật nữ trong câu chuyện này, ai cũng đem theo một quá khứ thật là buồn và nhiều đau khổ. Và bằng những mối liên kết lạ kì, họ nương tựa vào nhau, che chở và bảo vệ cho nhau, dù có phải hi sinh tất cả những gì mình có.

I received an ARC from the publisher as part of a Goodreads giveaway. This is the fifth English translation of Higashino's Detective Galileo series, there are 10 in total. Higashino is one of Japan's bestselling novelists. I have read a previous entry into this series, as well as one of the Kaga series. The book totally works as a standalone. The English translation of Invisible Helix is due to be published December 2024.
The series is a police procedural where the police are aided by the friend of the Chief Inspector, a professor of physics (hence Detective Galileo). Professor Yukawa loves to solve complex puzzles ( and he is quite skillful at this). Invisible Helix is a series of twisty puzzles. This book is an exploration of what is family and the importance of relations. The way the multiple twists unfold is masterful, and never feels forced. Recommended, both the series and the book.

Another intriguing Galileo tale.
The complex situation of a death that goes from at first glance relatively simple to murder, highly involved, and back to its simple root’s is teasingly intriguing.
All very laid back despite the accompanying twists.
A body is found with a bullet in its back. A young woman has a partner she’s reported missing. Now the woman can’t be found. Chief Inspector Kusanagi and his team explore the angle of domestic abuse.
In the mix is an older woman who’s much struck by the younger woman and as time goes on she’s convinced Sonoka Shimauchi is her granddaughter.
Is this a lie or the truth?
The story’s beginnings lay in the past decades back when a young mother places her daughter on the steps of an orphanage accompanied by a very distinctive hand made doll.
It takes Professor Manabu Yukawa (Detective Galileo) to quietly make sense of it all
So much space and time throughout the story to reflect. A pleasing pace.
The translation is spot on, no awkward syntaxes to make you shake your head.

Higashino has set so high standards for himself that anything weak leaves a bad aftertaste. This was one such weak work. The mystery part was non-existent. It was the characters who had kept the plot ticking. Nevertheless, this felt like a thoroughly diluted version of several of his better works, notably 'The Final Curtain'.
But, it was a good read nevertheless.

To be honest, I was expecting more and it didn't hit the mark.
First off, it was predictable, right from the beginning I suspected that's where it was going and I was right.
The other thing that really bothered me was the main character Sonoka Shimauchi. I did not like her at all. Far too many times her lines are to repeat dumbstruck what the other person is saying to her. I can understand once or twice but when it's a perpetual thing, it's very annoying ("the doll? the baby? the ...this? the... that?") Also, the narrator didn't do the perfect job when it came to impersonating her or any other female characters.
The plot itself, although simplistic, it got a bit complicated in the end for not good reason. It really didn't add much to the story.
Nevertheless, I am looking forward to read the next one in this series.

Every book by Keigo Higashino has been a thrilling ride that never fails to impress me! Moreover, this time, the intriguing elements are seamlessly intertwined with the plot twists throughout the story.
The story begins with the body of a young man named Ryota Uetsuji, found floating in Tokyo Bay with a gunshot wound. The mystery deepens when his live-in girlfriend, who reported him missing a week earlier, also disappears and is nowhere to be found.
When the investigation team learns that Ryota's girlfriend, Sonoka Shimauchi, was also a victim of domestic abuse, they initially assume she is the main suspect. However, their assumptions change when they discover a strong alibi for her whereabouts during the event, forcing Detectives Kusanagi and Utsumi to restart their investigation and of course seeking help and advice from our beloved character; Professor Manabu Yukawa also known as Detective Galileo.
As usual, I always admire the way Detective Galileo work, the deduction especially on the unthinkable facts and events including the process of reaching a decision or answer by thinking about the known facts, information gathering, tracking the timeline, and confronting with person of interest.
In my personal opinion, this time, from start to finish, it's a steady read. While less intense, it still manages to keep you on edge.
Definitely a 5-star read for me.
The story begins with the body of a young man named Ryota Uetsuji, found floating in Tokyo Bay with a gunshot wound. The mystery deepens when his live-in girlfriend, who reported him missing a week earlier, also disappears and is nowhere to be found.
When the investigation team learns that Ryota's girlfriend, Sonoka Shimauchi, was also a victim of domestic abuse, they initially assume she is the main suspect. However, their assumptions change when they discover a strong alibi for her whereabouts during the event, forcing Detectives Kusanagi and Utsumi to restart their investigation and of course seeking help and advice from our beloved character; Professor Manabu Yukawa also known as Detective Galileo.
As usual, I always admire the way Detective Galileo work, the deduction especially on the unthinkable facts and events including the process of reaching a decision or answer by thinking about the known facts, information gathering, tracking the timeline, and confronting with person of interest.
In my personal opinion, this time, from start to finish, it's a steady read. While less intense, it still manages to keep you on edge.

It has been a while since I read the first two books in this series and so I jumped into this one without reading the ones in between. I did recently read Newcomer featuring Detective Kaga, which I really enjoyed for its unique approach to crime solving.
Japanese crime fiction is always delightfully different in the way it is so cleverly plotted and keeps the reader interested in the how, why and what of a crime and not just the who.
This one, featuring Detectives Kusanagi,Kishitani and Utsumi of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police is much the same though it is even lighter in the suspense aspect than usual.
Starting off with a prologue of a helpless young mother abandoning her baby outside an orphanage, it then moves directly to the detectives who have been assigned a case involving a body that was washed ashore from the sea and bears a bullet hole in the neck. Identified as Ryoto Uetsuji,a young man who was reported missing by his girlfriend Sonoka, it feels like an open and shut case when details of domestic abuse perpetuated by the dead man come to the fore. However, Sonoka has an alibi even if she is currently missing and the detectives are stumped. Until their good friend Professor Yukawa or Detective Galileo as they call him, enters the scene along with two older women, one of whom is an author of picture books and the other the owner of a popular hostess bar. How all of this connects to the murder is the question that needs to be answered.
We know or can guess pretty early on who the murderer is but the connections between everyone involved are slowly unraveled. To be honest, this mystery did have too many coincidences and convenient solutions and the detection part seemed to be very light because things just fell into place. It was the kind of story where the reader cannot participate and that was disappointing. The characters hold secrets that we cannot possibly know so we cannot figure out what happened. Since there is no major twist, this takes out the fun somewhat.
I still thought this was a decent read given my love for this author and this genre but usually his books have more pep and these recurring characters are sharper than they were here.
I'll definitely read the two other books in this series and hope they are better.

先說重點，如果對於湯川系列的角色沒有特別感情的人，這本可以略過(多的那顆星是我對於湯川系列的情懷)，因為看完最大的感想就是，東野你可以再混一點！這本連涉及科學角度辦案都沒有，動機手法乾扁扁，寫成短篇還好，寫成長篇只會覺得，你當警察和讀者是笨蛋嗎？
因為案情過於慘不忍睹，先放一邊，雖然東野致力於讓這位科學家變得有溫度，所以本書在案件外，又加入了很多湯川的身世之謎，但個人看了覺得像一坨未攪散的鹽巴，過於突兀又跟主線不搭，那個在白夜行和嫌疑犯X的獻身，將感情描寫的令人深刻的東野已經才華不再了。
總言之，現在東野的書大概只剩下浮誇的文案和封面(完全難以理解台灣出那麼多款封面是在幹嘛)，原本不想支持台版譯者跑去中亞買，還順便省了錢，實在太好了。

Một vụ án đơn giản, trinh thám nhẹ thôi nhưng bất ngờ là lần này mình lại thấy oke :v, thấy thương cho Hidemi quá, số phận nhọ gì đâu thiệt chứ T.T
Sau quyển này tự dưng mình lại có cảm giác muốn đọc Keigo trở lại, vụ án không gì đặc biệt như lần này cũng được nhưng viết về con người rất chi là hay và có chiều sâu. Tự nhiên Yukawa trong này thâm trầm làm mình thích ghê

This book got me emotionally, gut punched me with the backstory and here I was crying after finish reading it. I expected to be attached emotionally to the story but what I didnt expect is for myself to shed a tear while reading it. Keigo Higashino pulled off yet another brilliant story with deep resonant emotional attachment with his characters. Invisible Helix on premise sounds like every typical Higashino's story, there is a murder, with Detectivd Kusanagi and Detective Kaoru Utsumi investigating the suspicious death of a man found floating in the ocean linked to the missing live in girlfriend and Professor Manabu Yukawa's help to solve the case. Opening the story with a past on a couple that dreamed to build a life together but cut short when the man died leaving his pregnant girlfriend which eventually caused the woman to abandon her child in an oprhanage due to financial difficulties. With the opening like this, you as a reader are bound to have your suspicions and clues as the story progressed and thats what i like about the story. Its not about finding who was the killer but mostly the questions of whys and the motive.
In every Gallileo's series, we get glimpses and more in depth character arc in Manabu Yukawa and this time we see of his relationship with his ageing father and his ailing, dementia mother. This soft and vulnerable portrayal of Yukawa touched my heart deeply seeing his guilt of not taking care of his parents more while also sympathising his resentment of it. The story also highlighted a lot on the issue of parenthood, the abuse in relationship and the twisted pasts merged together in the current days that led to one of the most devastating conclusion in my opinion. The vulnerability I felt reading all of these characters especially Yukawa gutted me so deeply that I was mourning for the loss and the heartbreak of it. The story went back and forth in telling you whats happened in a simple but clever way, directed you to believe in another but then diverted the expectations which is clever to me. Its not all on the surface level but more on the depth of the backstory that made this book so enjoyable to read. As much as I love the story, I do have qualms on the translation as I felt some of the sentences awkward and stilted but thankfully does not deter my reading.
Overall, this was a great addition to Detective Galileo series as I feel like I get to know Yukawa more and see him in a much different light.
Thank you to Definitely books for the review copy

A homicide and familial driven premise told in multiple perspectives following Chief Inspector Kusanagi and his squad in investigating a murder case of a corpse that was found floating in Tokyo Bay with a bullet wound on his back. A mysterious case at first when the victim’s live-in girlfriend; Sonoka Shimauchi was nowhere to be found after filing a missing person report on her boyfriend and went too twisty later when one of the person related to Sonoka was revealed to have a direct connection to Kusanagi’s close friend; Professor Manabu Yukawa.
From years ago prologue of an unnamed woman to Chizuko and both Ryota and Sonoka’s narratives— a taut whodunnit mystery that brought me to delve into one’s vulnerability and familial bond, of guilt, regret and desperation that tied a years ago tragedy to one’s devious and ingenious motive. Bit curious on how Yukawa would go helping out Kusanagi (though he emphasized that he would not) with his usual I-work-alone mode, loved the interaction of him and Utsumi as well how emotionally the case go unfolding his past— that glimpses of Yukawa’s childhood and familial history which giving me more insight and dynamic to our Galileo’s character.
Bit tense for its domestic abuse and morality concern— could foreseen on how Sonoka and Hidemi’s narratives would interlaced, having my own guesses yet that revelation from Sonoka later stunned me. It was much personal with a vivid story of one’s grief and remorse rather than a thrilling crime mystery and I was more interested with both Hidemi and Nae’s backstories (frankly I did not care much about Ryota’s death anymore) that it wretched me on how the mystery resolved through those confessions and revelations at the end.

Invisible Helix is a real gift to mystery fans. It's not what I would call a "standard" mystery. There is some detecting going on, but what it is most like is a set of Russian dolls, one tucked inside the other. The case appears reasonably straightforward, but open to the next doll and the same events suddenly take on a new meaning. Then open to the next-next doll, and again a new meaning.
Whether or not you're a reader of mysteries, the structure of this novel will keep you engaged and will keep surprising.

This is the second police procedural by Higashino that I have read, and whereas the whodunnit aspect is not as intricate as in other nationalities, the inclusion of Japanese culture and personality makes for an intriguing experience.

This was really good. I was a wee bit confused at first, because I hadn’t realized that it is a later book in a long-running series. Fortunately, there’s a cast of characters at the front that fills in enough for me to follow the thread in this book. By the end I really couldn’t tell whether reading the series in order (or at least reading one or two of the earlier titles first) would have added anything to my experience of reading this.
I particularly enjoyed the character of Kaoru Utsumi, who, despite her lower rank (Detective Sergeant) seemed to have as important a role in the story as Chief Inspector and “Detective Galileo”, the civilian who helps out the police. That’s part of what I enjoyed about her. I also liked that there is a working relationship between these characters; most detective fiction that have read either has no female detective of any substance or stature, or has one that is defined by her being in conflict with her misogynist colleagues and bosses. Misogyny is real. In my experience it infiltrates pretty much everything, overtly or subtly, so I am not picking on the style of detective fiction that uses it to build their characters and develop their plot. Yet, it was lovely to have a book that did not need that to be the driver of the plot, and that had civil to cordial relationships between the female detective and many of her colleagues and superiors. The novel also had a lot to say about the vulnerability of women in Japanese society, and I appreciated this as well as how deftly this was woven into the story.
Another thing I enjoyed was the inventive way the plot unfolded, borrowing the structure of the double helix to structure the plot. Really fun, and unlike most mysteries it kept me guessing right up to the revelation of the solution. I sussed out some of the components, but was still surprised. That made the book even more enjoyable. I would certainly read another volume in this, or one of Higashino’s other series.

রাতুল ভাইয়ের দুর্দান্ত অনুবাদে হিগাশিনোর গ্যালিলিও সিরিজের শেষ বইটা বেশ লাগল।
ডিটেকটিভ গ্যালিলিও সিরিজের একটা ট্রেডমার্ক আছে সেটা হলো হিগাশিনোর আরেক সিরিজ "কাগা" থেকে অনেকটাই আলাদা।মাথা ঘুরানো প্লট,আবেগ কে প্রশ্রয় না দিয়ে যুক্তি দিয়ে খন্ডায়ন,অনেকটা ডার্ক ডার্ক ভাব থাকে এবং এবং থাকে মানাবু ইউকাওয়ার মতো একটা পার্সোনালিটি সম্পন্ন গোয়েন্দা।
এই গল্পটা গ্যালিলিও অন্যান্য গল্পের মতো না।সাসপেক্ট এক্সের মতো মাথা ঘুরানো থ্রিলার নয় বরং এখানে কাগা সিরিজের মতো মর্মস্পর্শি জিনিস আছে,আছে ভিক্টিমের প্রতি সহানুভূতি এবং মানাবু ইউকাওয়া চরিত্র সম্পর্কে স্পষ্ট ধারনা।গল্পের প্লটের বিস্তৃতি শক্তপোক্ত না হলেও বইটি খারাপ লাগেনি।গল্পটা শেষ করার পর বরাররের মতোই বিষন্নতার চাদরে ডুবিয়ে দিয়েছে হিগাশিনো।

แอบอยากให้ goodreads กดครึ่งดาวได้ก็หลังอ่านเล่มนี้จบนี่แหละ เพราะเรารู้สึกชอบมากกว่า 3 ดาวแน่ๆ แต่ก็ไม่ถึง 4 ._.
เล่มนี้คดีสืบสวนไม่ถึงกับลุ้น สำหรับเราพอจะเดาได้ แล้วก็เดาถูกจริงๆ ด้วย แต่ชอบจังหวะการเล่าเรื่อง ไม่เนิบ ไม่เร็วเกินไป เหมือนรอให้คนอ่านได้ไขปริศนาตามไปด้วย
ภาพรวมเราชอบซีรีส์กาลิเลโอมากกว่าคางะ แต่ถ้าให้แยกออกเป็นรายเล่มจะพบว่าจำนวนเล่มที่ชอบในซีรีส์คางะดันมีมากกว่า 555555 ยังไงก็ตาม เราชอบตัวละครยุกาว่ามากๆ ดื้อนิดๆ รั้นหน่อยๆ แต่สุภาพและจิตใจดี และเล่มนี้ก็เป็นการเปิดความลับของยุกาว่า ได้เห็นอีกด้านของตัวละครนี้ เพราะฉะนั้นตอนจบก็เลยอดกดเพิ่มให้อีกดาวไม่ได้ และชีวิตถือคติว่า 0.5 ควรปัดขึ้นมากกว่าปัดลง 555555555555
ยังไงก็ตามเล่มนี้เป็นอีกเล่มที่ดี เล่าปัญหาครอบครัว และการใช้ความรุนแรง เล่มบางๆ อ่านไม่นานก็จบค่ะ 👍🏻

เล่มนี้เรื่องคดีเบาไปหน่อย อาจจะเพราะเล่มก่อนหน้าทั้งทริค ทั้งฆาตกรรมมาจัดหนัก จัดเต็ม แต่สิ่งที่ใส่มาแบบจัดเต็ม คือ ความสัมพันธ์ของตัวละครในเรื่องและรวมไปถึงความลับของยุกาว่า เราก็คงไม่เขียนอะไรมาก เพราะตัวหนังสือ บางมาก อ่านจริง ๆ แปบ ๆ ก็จบเรื่องแล้ว 55555
