Two points. One, this is a very long book, over 600 pages of tiny print, it took me weeks to read and I generally finish a book in days. Two, it is NOT a thriller, by any stretch of anyone's imagination. I wouldn’t even describe it as crime fiction, because the crime is very much in the background.
But, if you’re interested in Japanese culture and you're a fan of police procedural novels than this might be the book for you. Its a slow build novel about two connected crimes fourteen years apart but it’s more an exploration of corruption in the Japanese police force than it is a detective story - and that is fascinating if you have the patience for it.
