"Your assumptions are your worst enemies , trust them too much and you'll fail to see what's right under your nose."
Yasuko Hanaoka lives a quiet life with her daughter Misato, but one day , her world is shattered when when ex husband Shinji Togashi shows up at her house and certain events lead to Shinji being murdered by Yasuko and Misato. ( AND IT'S NOT A SPOILER)
The real story starts after the murder, when Yasuko's neighbour , the highly intelligent mathematics teacher Mr.Ishigami involves himself in the picture and decides to protect the mother- daughter duo at any cost.
"Which is harder: devising an unsolvable problem, or solving that problem?"
This thriller has successfully changed my perspective towards the whole genre.It's different in a sense that the readers will know who is the murderer and why it was done from the very beginning but the real deal is the cat and mouse game between Detective kusanagi , Physicist (detective galileo) Yukawa and Mathematician Ishigami.
The author easily manages to keep readers gripped till the end , while you root for one to win, you crave for another to make an intelligent step.
The twists & turns with an tragic end is what makes this a perfect crime- thriller and surely deserves much more hype!
