I received a copy of this via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.
Six Four is unlike any crime novel I have every read before. In a very very good way.
The story revolves around the Japanese police force, specifically Mikami who currently works in media relations. The title 'Six Four' is the codename given to a cold case relating to a kidnap of a young girl in 1989 which has continued to haunt the police force.
The story is a little tough to get into in the beginning as it is a slow burner. Unlike most crime novels, there is no action to keep you gripped, instead Yokoyama relies on brilliant storytelling and a wonderful array of intriguing characters to keep you enthralled.
This was the first of Yokoyama's novels to be translated to English. If they are all of this high standard, I hope we get to read more of them soon!
