Malice
de Keigo Higashino
Porquê ler
This is an extraordinary subversion of traditional crime fiction that pivots from a standard whodunnit into a gripping 'whydunnit'. The culprit is caught almost immediately, shifting the narrative into a fierce psychological duel between a cunning suspect and an intuitive detective, where the real mystery lies in uncovering the twisted motive beneath layers of calculated deception.

O que esperar
A cool, methodical, and puzzle-oriented read told through alternating written accounts and police records. The pace moves briskly with minimal fluff, offering an engaging intellectual challenge rather than graphic spectacle. Content notes: touches on themes of murder, bullying, jealousy, and subtle animal poisoning.
