*** 3 stars
Seems Higashino's backlist is being translated and made available in the US. I'm glad I waited for the library copy and didn't buy it like I had originally planned. It was good and twisty and clever like his more recent books (Salvation of a Saint and The Devotion of Suspect X, both of which I loved!) but it wasn't quite as "crisp" and elegant. He's definitely matured as an author, so while I might go out of my way to read his new stuff, the backlist, if it becomes available in English, is definitely candidates for the library list!
