Malice is as carefully constructed as a perfect origami and as delicate. One wrong fold, and it wouldn't be the same. And one misplaced word in this review could spoil the book for you. Keigo Higashino has had but a few books translated into English. I am not certain if there is method to the order of translation, but each book gets more intricate than the last. Do not read him (and especially this book) if you seek a stereotypical murder mystery. Here, there are layers of mystery, and murder is just the first. Read this for the difference and decide for yourself. Reading this book, I marveled at the craft it took to write a book that can reveal so much so soon and still keep one in thrall till the end. And even in the end, after all was said and shown, there remained a freshness to the story that is hard to ignore.
