🔽 Book review and notes 🔽

A man was killed, the only possible suspect is the wife but she was miles away. In theory, sure the trick is possible but in reality it's not doable.
This time Galileo faces the unrealistic mystery.

He and the detective Kusanagi have been mates since university, but now a young female detective Utsumi joins (this character was added to the TV series first and the author brought her to the novel)
Now that the team has become more dynamic, they face the undoable murder.
It's a good example of how the author also focuses on entertaining his readers not only with the fabulous strick but playing with other elements like its TV series.

It's refreshing to see the young Utsumi doing her job well despite the misogyny in the institution, and it emphasise Kusanagi's sense of justice.
But, he fails at one thing, he starts to have tender feelings towards the suspect.

Of course the part of the solving is good, obviously, but it's fun to see the trio.
