Fiction. Literature. Mystery. From the acclaimed internationally bestselling author Keigo Higashino (The Devotion of Suspect X) comes a sweeping novel in the tradition of Les Miserables and Crime and Punishment. This is the compelling story of a brutal crime and the two teenagers-Ryo, the son of the murdered man, and Yukiho, the daughter of the main suspect-whose lives remain inextricably linked over the twenty-year search for the truth behind the crime. In Osaka in 1973, the body of a murdered man is found in an abandoned building. Investigating the crime, Detective Sasagaki is unable to find the killer. Over the next twenty years, through the lens of a succession of characters, Higashino tells the story of two teens, Ryo and Yukiho, whose lives are most affected by the crime, and the obsessed detective, Sasagaki, who continues to investigate the murder, looking for the elusive truth. Under the Midnight Sun is a complex, psychological novel about crime and its after-effects by one of the most read and most accomplished contemporary mystery authors. A twisting, compelling work that will astonish and delight fans both old and new alike.… (altro)

Wow! It took me awhile to get through this book but it was worth it. So many twists and turns expertly drawn by the author. Without doubt a crime fiction masterpiece. ( )

A pawnbroker is found stabbed to death in an abandoned building in Osaka. As part of Detective Sasagaki's inquiries he questions a woman who was a regular customer and forms a theory that she was the pawn-broker's lover. A year later that woman is discovered by her daughter Yukiho, gassed to death. It is ruled an accident, but suspicions of suicide, born of the scandal and shame, remain.

What starts out looking like a standard procedural then takes a surprising turn as the murder investigation is put aside and we follow the lives of Yukiho and the pawnbroker's son, Ryo, through their school and college years. Both of them seem to be doing well, but also seem to be magnets for trouble. As their lives unfold into adulthoood and the coincidences pile up, Sasagaki maintains a close interest in their doings.

This novel has a really good plot which cleverly subverts the usual police procedural, and has three engaging and fascinating characters at its core. Another winner from Higashino. ( )

There are many unknowns even at the end of the book. Higashino does not reveal how Ryo and Yukiho became friends, and why Ryo supported and helped Yukiho including committing some hideous crimes. The story is not told from their perspectives, and seldom do you hear what they think and feel. Only once did they reveal to a third party that they lived in darkness under the midnight sun. Despite their deeds, you feel sympathy for them. What they do is not justified but you don't feel that they are heartless criminals. Other than characterisation, Higashino cleverly marks the progress of time through the main characters' development. And he brings out the 1970s and 1980s well. A thorough page-turner, I miss reading this book. ( )

This book was amazing. I read it in two days and I can't stop thinking about it. I don't usually read mystery/thrillers but the writing was so well done and the plot so enthralling that I couldn't put it down. ( )

I had quite high expectations with this one and it did disappoint me a bit. It's a typical Higashino mystery / thriller, that moves ever so slowly, taking in the technological and social developments of Japan, not impertinently, from the seventies to the nineties. The lead characters have been etched finely through a lot of minute details. The disappointment came in when all that detailing and the build-up culminated in a predictable and unsatisfying climax... Well, it was a lot of fun while it lasted! ( )
