This is the third book in the Detective Galileo series. Can it be read as a stand alone novel or should one read the previous 2 for more context?

zendegy I agree with Anindita. This was the first I read of the Galileo series, but, when I finished, I had to get the others. Outstanding.

From the novel we know that Misato doesn't agree with her mother being with Kudo, because she feels that Ishigami's sacrifice for them is very big. But when her mother texted that night that she would be home late, Misato knew right away that her mother had a date with Kudo. I think Misato has a very deep sense of empathy for Ishigami, plus another factor is that she feels pressured by all the situations that occur. that's what drives her to do self harm.(less)
