Six Four
by Hideo Yokoyama
I give this book a 2.5/5 for various reasons.
The world building was great; I felt like I was by Mikamis side the whole way. Mikami is a great detective and I was thoroughly surprised by the plot twist toward the end of the book.
I felt like the story dragged out. The build up was too slow for my liking and there was more police politics than I’ve anticipated.
I also felt like there were some plot holes to the story. I wanted to know where his daughter was? I wish we were given more information on them trying to find their daughter. She was on my mind a lot and I’m disappointed that nothing came out of it and that it stayed as a ‘let her be and she’ll come to us when she’s ready’ concept. I honestly thought the kidnapping towards the end was going to be his daughter but I was pleasantly surprised it was the kidnapper from Six Four. Also where did Futawatari get the Koda memo from? Mikami mentions it in the last chapter but I really wanted to know his role in it all. I thought he wouldve had a bigger role in the recent kidnapping case. I guess we’re supposed to stay in the dark about it.
