具體描述
Yasuko Hanaoka is a divorced, single mother who thought she had finally escaped her abusive ex-husband Togashi. When he shows up one day to extort money from her, threatening both her and her teenaged daughter Misato, the situation quickly escalates into violence and Togashi ends up dead on her apartment floor. Overhearing the commotion, Yasuko’s next door neighbor, middle-aged high school mathematics teacher Ishigami, offers his help, disposing not only of the body but plotting the cover-up step-by-step.
When the body turns up and is identified, Detective Kusanagi draws the case and Yasuko comes under suspicion. Kusanagi is unable to find any obvious holes in Yasuko’s manufactured alibi and yet is still sure that there’s something wrong. Kusanagi brings in Dr. Manabu Yukawa, a physicist and college friend who frequently consults with the police. Yukawa, known to the police by the nickname Professor Galileo, went to college with Ishigami. After meeting up with him again, Yukawa is convinced that Ishigami had something to do with the murder. What ensues is a high level battle of wits, as Ishigami tries to protect Yasuko by outmaneuvering and outthinking Yukawa, who faces his most clever and determined opponent yet.
用戶評價
##（19/50）再理性再邏輯的人，愛情也不會對他網開一麵。
##真·page-turner...一口氣讀完
我應該說過吧，大多數時候，“好人”這個詞應該能和“傻逼”這個詞互換。所以石神你真是個好人，副教授你真的不能算個好人。以及這本書的翻譯質量比南海版贊！多！瞭！
##前麵到平淡枯燥似乎隻是為瞭襯托最後的結局的精彩，隱匿的真相和情感在這一瞬間爆發，極緻地絢爛。完全被騙瞭阿！書比電視動人，似乎東野的書拍成電視感覺總是會變差一些。英譯比中譯感情略細膩。
##究竟愛一個人，可以到什麼程度？ 究竟什麼樣的邂逅，可以捨命不悔？ 邏輯的盡頭不是理性和秩序的理想國，而是我用生命奉獻的愛情！
##語言這麼平實，情感卻如此震撼。村上春樹走腎，東野圭吾走心。
##最近讀的五本東野圭吾裏最喜歡的一本
##我也是很意外地發現東野的書有英文版！這本翻譯的不錯。
##英文翻譯樸素直白，全程對話抓眼球。雖然八年前看過中文版，最後一小時聽凶手同學解說，還是感動瞭一下下。東野圭吾總是讓我想到某大學友人:)
