Throughout this series, I couldn‘t help but think about Agatha Christie‘s Hercule Poirot character. Detective Kaga is Poirot‘s reincarnation in Japan. It becomes even more evident in the titles. ⬇️

suvata Christie‘s last Poirot novel was named Curtain. Higashino‘s last Kaga novel is called The Final Curtain. Coincidence? I think not.

Both detectives, solve their cases by slowly unfolding details, piece by piece, and finding missing pieces along the way until the completed puzzle is finally revealed. I sure hope that my conclusions are incorrect because I would truly miss the impeccable Mr. Kaga. ⬇️ (edited) 14mo

suvata “The Final Curtain” is the fourth book in the Detective Kaga series. The story revolves around the murder of Michiko Oshitani, who was found dead in a rented apartment in Tokyo. The case is connected to the disappearance and death of Detective Kaga‘s mother, which happened years ago. As the police investigate Oshitani‘s past, they reach out to Detective Kaga for advice.
