charm helps him uncover the truth. Higashino's writing is
emotionally charged and intellectually rewarding." --Ellery Queen
Mystery Magazine "Classic yet inventive... Newcomer will appeal
most to fans of classic detective stories by the likes of Agatha
Christie and Georges Simenon. Higashino's intricate plotting and a
vivid setting come together in an absorbing mystery that will leave
readers guessing until the very end." --Bookreporter "Kaga, a
modern day Poirot, thinks even further outside the box than his
Belgian predecessor, to the great delight of mystery aficionados"
--Bookpage "Delightful... Fans of classic whodunits should
introduce themselves to this newcomer immediately." --Shelf
Awareness "Exotic, original... highly recommended." --Japan Times
"Newcomer is a cerebral puzzler's delight that, like Alexander
McCall Smith's No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency mysteries, offers a
thought-provoking take on the tension between modernity and
traditional culture and leaves a trail of mended relationships in
its wake." --Booklist
"Rewarding... [readers] will appreciate Higashino's graceful prose
and willingness to push the limits of the genre." --Library Journal
"Clever and charming." --The Sunday Times (London)
