"法廷遊戯"( The Courtroom Game)by Ritsuto Igarashi. ☆Illustration: Mariko Enomoto
I first fell in love with the book cover illustration. So beautiful and mysterious.
Legal thrillers are not my thing--so I thought! Until I picked up this book. This author is a lawyer and is 33 years old. Wow!
I don't know much about the law but this book was easy to read and the story was fast paced. We're following law school students playing their little game of mock trial. It's all fun and games until someone gets murdered. I liked the plot twists!
Left very unsure about this one, I don't know whether I like it or not. The plot is very strong, despite being obvious in some aspects, but I'm left very dissatisfied with the ending, namely because I can't I'm reminded of a Keigo Higashino book in English, where I have similar feelings as I have here, especially as in regards to the dynamic between the two main characters.
