Journey Under the Midnight Sun

Praise for Keigo Higashino

‘Intricate… At the outset, [Higashino’s] approach seems unsettling, but the Edgar nominee knows his business’ Booklist

‘Each time you’re convinced Higashino’s wrung every possible twist out of his golden-age setup, he comes up with a new one’ Kirkus Reviews

‘Intricate and beguiling… if you like riddles inside enigmas, it will please you no end’ Guardian on The Devotion of Suspect X

‘The plot is satisfyingly twisty and gathers pace as the revelations come thicker, faster, and more and more unexpected’ Sydney Morning Herald on Malice

‘Each time Higashino makes a revelation, he quickly pulls the carpet from under one’s feet, fuelling the reader to finish the book as quickly as possible’ Singapore Straits Times
