Summary
Kusanagi pointed at Yukawa with his fork。 “When it comes to unraveling impossible crimes， you’re the master。 It’s time for Detective Galileo to stand up。
A popular young girl disappears without a trace， her skeletal remains discovered three years later in the ashes of a burned-out house。 There’s a suspect and compelling circumstantial evidence of his guilt， but no concrete proof。 When he isn’t indicted， he returns to mock the girl’s family。 And this isn’t the first time he’s been suspected of the murder of a young girl， nearly twenty years ago he was tried and released due to lack of evidence。 Chief Inspector Kusanagi of the Homicide Division of the Tokyo Police worked both cases。
The neighborhood in which the murdered girl lived is famous for an annual street festival， featuring a parade with entries from around Tokyo and Japan。 During the parade， the suspected killer dies unexpectedly。 His death is suspiciously convenient but the people with all the best motives have rock solid alibis。 Chief Inspector Kusanagi turns once again to his college friend， Physics professor and occasional police consultant Manabu Yukawa， known as Detective Galileo， to help solve the string of seemingly impossible murders。

Probably somewhere between a 4 and 4。5 stars - it's not quite topped Salvation of a Saint as my favourite in the series， but it's pretty close！ Definitely on par with Devotion of Suspect X for me。This has become my all time favourite mystery series - I really love our main trio and their dynamic， and Higashino's ability to make you think you know what's going on and then throw you in for a loop at the end is truly unmatched。 Silent Parade is as much of a page turner as the previous books in the Probably somewhere between a 4 and 4。5 stars - it's not quite topped Salvation of a Saint as my favourite in the series， but it's pretty close！ Definitely on par with Devotion of Suspect X for me。This has become my all time favourite mystery series - I really love our main trio and their dynamic， and Higashino's ability to make you think you know what's going on and then throw you in for a loop at the end is truly unmatched。 Silent Parade is as much of a page turner as the previous books in the series， and I loved every minute of this。What I really loved about this story in particular are the interconnected cases - we have a case from Kusanagi's past that ended in the culprit getting away with his crime because of the flawed justice system， a similar case in the slightly more recent past seemingly linked to this same killer， and then finally the murder of this suspect in the present day。 I can see some people finding this a bit convoluted， but I personally really enjoyed this setup and seeing the links between the cases！One thing I will say is that the further on in the series we get， the more obvious it is that the English translations are skipping books in the series。 There are callbacks and character/relationship developments that are implied， but that I have no context for。 I can only assume they took place in the books that weren't translated。 If the publisher is reading this， please， I beg， give us translations of all the books in this series 😭If you're a fan of crime procedurals and murder mysteries， I cannot recommend this series enough！Thank you to St Martin's Press for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review！ 。。。more

A clever murder mystery。 It was somewhat difficult to follow at times， because you had to stop and think about the names。 Sorry to say that it took more than half the book before I started to get the names right。 Although I did enjoy the Japanese aspects of the story， the names really made it a chore to read。

I was excited to read yet another thriller from one of my favorite crime writers。 A young talented singer Saori goes missing and three years later her body was found in a burned down house。 Despite lots of circumstantial evidence pointing to one man Hasanuma， he is not prosecuted。 And the most frustrating thing for Tokyo police department is that he has done it before。 Detective Kusanagi has met this man early in his career， where he was acquitted from a similar crime。 As the family of Saori suf I was excited to read yet another thriller from one of my favorite crime writers。 A young talented singer Saori goes missing and three years later her body was found in a burned down house。 Despite lots of circumstantial evidence pointing to one man Hasanuma， he is not prosecuted。 And the most frustrating thing for Tokyo police department is that he has done it before。 Detective Kusanagi has met this man early in his career， where he was acquitted from a similar crime。 As the family of Saori suffers through this injustice， Hasanuma is found dead on the day of a famous parade in Kikuno。 Though Detective Kusanagi hates him， he is forced to investigate his death。 But every suspect and person of interest have a perfect alibi。 Detective Kusanagi， turns to his friend Yukawa for help。 So who killed Hasanuma？What Higashino tried here is controversial， Would you care if the victim was a despicable person？ Though I connected well with the characters in the book， I didn't care so much about Hasanuma's death。 So I didn't want his killer to be punished？ So， this book is about uncovering How Hasanuma was killed， rather than a whodunnit。 As usual the plot was clever and everything was wrapped up well in the end。 But I felt it wasn't as good as his previous novels。 Right from the start， I knew the pace of the novel is going to be slow ， so if you are used to page turners， this might feel a bit drawn out。 I loved learning about the Japanese Parade， their foods and culture。 This is the thing that always fascinates me when I read books set on a different location。If you havent read Higashino before， I suggest checking out his other books first。 But regardless， it was a good read。3。5 Stars 。。。more

Page turner， of course。。finished the book in one night。 The characters are all ordinary people （except Yukawa） and the author depicts very well that you could sympathize。

First time reading a novel set in Japan with all Japanese characters。 I found the story to be well written。 Lots of plot twists。 I struggled with all of the characters and tried to keep straight who was who。

3。5 stars， rounded downThis may be the 9th in the Detective Galileo series， but it’s the first I’ve read。 But I had no trouble jumping into the series。 This can easily be read as a standalone。 I can’t remember reading another mystery that takes place in Japan。 I found it interesting to see the differences in our justice and policing systems， which play a pertinent role in the plot。 Higashino also does a great job of giving us a great sense of Japanese culture。 A talented young girl goes missing 3。5 stars， rounded downThis may be the 9th in the Detective Galileo series， but it’s the first I’ve read。 But I had no trouble jumping into the series。 This can easily be read as a standalone。 I can’t remember reading another mystery that takes place in Japan。 I found it interesting to see the differences in our justice and policing systems， which play a pertinent role in the plot。 Higashino also does a great job of giving us a great sense of Japanese culture。 A talented young girl goes missing and her remains are discovered 3 years later in a burned out house。 Despite lots of circumstantial evidence pointing to one man， he is not prosecuted。 A few months later， on the day of a large parade， he is found dead。 “Detective Galileo” is actually Professor Yukawa， a professor of physics。 He consults with the Tokyo detectives on the case。 While his ideas are a key part of the book， he’s not a major character。 The book had a Sherlock Holmes feel to it。 Yukawa is able to fathom the clues that the detectives don’t quite see or understand。 The book is the opposite of fast paced。 It introduces so many characters they are listed at the front of the book。 While I was curious to see how the mystery would be solved and who was behind the death， it was a little slow for my taste。 And parts of how the crime took place were easy to figure out。 Others were totally out of the blue。 And just when you think you see how it all played out， a wild twist is thrown in。 This is not a character rich book。 I never felt I got a true feel for the personalities behind the main characters。 While it was a decent read， I doubt I will follow through with reading the prior books in the series。 My thanks to Netgalley and Macmillan Publishers for an advance copy of this book。 。。。more

Not my favorite Detective Galileo novel but it was a decent read。 A bit wordy for the mystery itself but the end wrapped up nicely。 Would have liked to have heard more from the Detective himself， his role in this book is a more of a side role than usual。 But still fun to have him back。

Silent Parade， from Keigo Higashino is the 9th Detective Galileo novel， but only the 4th that has been translated in English。 It is expected to be published by Minotaur Books， December 14， 2021。 The Mystery Book Group read The Devotion of Suspect X when it was first available in translation and I believe it was a big hit。 Higashino says that this was the first of his books which was fully written before publication rather than being made available as a serial in sections。 Looking forward to this Silent Parade， from Keigo Higashino is the 9th Detective Galileo novel， but only the 4th that has been translated in English。 It is expected to be published by Minotaur Books， December 14， 2021。 The Mystery Book Group read The Devotion of Suspect X when it was first available in translation and I believe it was a big hit。 Higashino says that this was the first of his books which was fully written before publication rather than being made available as a serial in sections。 Looking forward to this！ 。。。more

I've read all of Higashino's English translated works， and Silent Parade ranks on the lower end for me。 Many of Higashino's hallmarks are here - the twists， the secrets， the final reveal， justice vs punishment， the glimpse into Japanese culture - but the mystery just didn't grip me like his previous works。 It was very reminiscent of Murder on the Orient Express， and if you're familiar with that story while reading this one you can figure out a good deal of what is going on in the present day sto I've read all of Higashino's English translated works， and Silent Parade ranks on the lower end for me。 Many of Higashino's hallmarks are here - the twists， the secrets， the final reveal， justice vs punishment， the glimpse into Japanese culture - but the mystery just didn't grip me like his previous works。 It was very reminiscent of Murder on the Orient Express， and if you're familiar with that story while reading this one you can figure out a good deal of what is going on in the present day story。I was surprised regarding the original （inciting action） murder， because I had figured out part of the reason for the murder but picked the wrong perpetrator。In conclusion， this wouldn't be in the top 5 of Higashino books that I'd recommend， but I wouldn't dissuade anyone from reading it。 I look forward to reading whichever translation comes out next。Thank you to the publisher， via NetGalley， for providing me with an arc for review。 。。。more

Kiego Higashino is one of my favorite authors。 He has a remarkable imagination。 This mystery has a number of twists and turns that I could never have anticipated。 The translation had a few awkward moments， but it did not distract from the page turning quality of the story。 Another winner！

Detective Galileo is back！If you've read and enjoyed Higashino's previous works， I can guarantee that you'll enjoy this one as well。 If you have not read previous works， this stands alone perfectly and is one of the more easier stories to immerse in。 It takes place in an area of Tokyo that is just an average place and the townspeople are all close。 When a popular restaurant's pretty daughter disappears and then is found dead some years later， the perpetrator of the crime is identified， but it se Detective Galileo is back！If you've read and enjoyed Higashino's previous works， I can guarantee that you'll enjoy this one as well。 If you have not read previous works， this stands alone perfectly and is one of the more easier stories to immerse in。 It takes place in an area of Tokyo that is just an average place and the townspeople are all close。 When a popular restaurant's pretty daughter disappears and then is found dead some years later， the perpetrator of the crime is identified， but it seems impossible to make charges stick。 There are so many twists and turns that it is hard to imagine the outcome。 It all comes together in a very satisfying conclusion。 Yes， there are a lot of names， but the author thoughtfully includes a guide to the characters。 I could not put it down。Thank you to NetGalley for an advance copy of this book。 。。。more

很多書評拿這本跟嫌疑犯X的獻身做比較、讀之前我覺得是行銷手法、用舊情懷炒人氣、但讀完才發現 沈默遊行與X獻身的故事核心、是一模一樣的 而且安排上有種相輔相成的前後呼應、雖然人物圈完全不同、也算是有點彌補了前作的遺憾吧、難怪會被講再一起。其實除了X獻身、沈默遊行還滿像另一本空洞的十字架、也是描述二個時間點、極度相似的案件解謎的故事、喜歡其中一本的建議讀讀另外二本。東野叔的玄疑作品、有一個共通點、在極度絕望的處境之下、不管主人公最終選擇善或惡、這個人支撐的理由與信念絕對不馬虎帶過、而是以一個極為嚴謹的態度、選擇一個個必要的人物、掌握敘事關鍵、描繪出一個個好故事。這是每次有新作、啊、就像皮克斯動畫一上映、我就知道要帶紙巾進戲院、準備帶走一個厲害的故事、是一樣的道理。不管是現已完結的新參者或是伽利略系列、都是這樣。但是正因為這個原因、很大程度上可以看出、東野在寫的時候、已經在預想拍成電影的鋪陳了、畢竟小說與劇本有著明顯的不同、在描寫上也會有差異、我還是比較喜歡小說派的隱晦表達、讓讀者有所體會卻有想像空間的寫法就是了。講歸講嫌歸嫌、估計下一本伽利略系列上市我照樣手刀入手。然後我覺得原文版的封面比 很多書評拿這本跟嫌疑犯X的獻身做比較、讀之前我覺得是行銷手法、用舊情懷炒人氣、但讀完才發現 沈默遊行與X獻身的故事核心、是一模一樣的 而且安排上有種相輔相成的前後呼應、雖然人物圈完全不同、也算是有點彌補了前作的遺憾吧、難怪會被講再一起。其實除了X獻身、沈默遊行還滿像另一本空洞的十字架、也是描述二個時間點、極度相似的案件解謎的故事、喜歡其中一本的建議讀讀另外二本。東野叔的玄疑作品、有一個共通點、在極度絕望的處境之下、不管主人公最終選擇善或惡、這個人支撐的理由與信念絕對不馬虎帶過、而是以一個極為嚴謹的態度、選擇一個個必要的人物、掌握敘事關鍵、描繪出一個個好故事。這是每次有新作、啊、就像皮克斯動畫一上映、我就知道要帶紙巾進戲院、準備帶走一個厲害的故事、是一樣的道理。不管是現已完結的新參者或是伽利略系列、都是這樣。但是正因為這個原因、很大程度上可以看出、東野在寫的時候、已經在預想拍成電影的鋪陳了、畢竟小說與劇本有著明顯的不同、在描寫上也會有差異、我還是比較喜歡小說派的隱晦表達、讓讀者有所體會卻有想像空間的寫法就是了。講歸講嫌歸嫌、估計下一本伽利略系列上市我照樣手刀入手。然後我覺得原文版的封面比較符合故事的氛圍、中文版搞的如此驚悚殺氣 真不知是為何。 。。。more

算是本格和社會派完素兼備，值得一看。其實各方面都很好，也有一些 wow factor，但總是覺得欠了那麼一點點。也許《嫌疑犯X的獻身》珠玉在前，難免會令人有所比較。
