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.

Reviews

[Dayna Lee]

무난무난 가볍게 읽게 좋았다! 기억에 남는 에피소드는 장미와 나이프외엔 없었던 거 같고 단편집이라 서사가 깊은 편은 아니라서 아쉬웠다 - 정말 엑기스만 남겨놓은 느낌!

[Joyce]

I enjoyed the capsule-like nature of the short mysteries in The Detective Club, but the plots begin to feel repetitive after a while.

It was also hard to ignore the undercurrent of misogyny in the stories. Even when it’s the female characters committing the crime, it never feels like they are acting with a sense of agency, and the story is still focused on the male characters - either as the victim or as the family to the victim.

Overall, it wasn't bad, but not outstanding.

[Hyewon]

최근에 본 중 제일 추리소설다웠다. 역시 히가시노 게이고.

[Soohyang]

추리의 과정이 "탐정은 다 안다" 식으로 되어 있어서 독자가 함께 추리해 가는 재미가 없고 흥미와 긴장감이 떨어지는 편. 돈주고 사서 보기는 아까운 책.

탐정들이 맡은 케이스들로 엮어진 단편집. 많이 무거운 내용도 아니고 단편집이라 이어져있지 않아서 심심할때 시간 때울 겸 꺼내보기 좋다.

추리소설 단편 모음집

분명 각 스토리에 반전이 있고, 반전이 기대되는 것은 맞았다.
하지만 짧은 스토리들에 등장하는 인물들이 너무 많아서 집중할 수가 없었다. 이름 외우기에 급급해 나름의 추리를 펼칠 시간이 없던 느낌? 그럴만 하면 한 편이 끝나버려서ㅠ

[Qi]

Instead of pursuing excitement, rather a respect and memorial

[Life]

Somewhat mediocre detective stories, nothing that really left an impression on me.

[Joon-Q]

뭔가 추리해가는 과정등은 나오지 않고 외부에서 답을 가지고 와서 전달하는 흐름으로 진행되다보니 아쉬움이 느껴지는 부분도 있지만 사건의 내용이나 그안에 보여지는 모습들은 흥미롭다.

[Qwetro]

短篇集，如果能補充點俱樂部相關的劇情貫穿全書就更好了，當然那就不是純粹的短篇集了。
