About the author
Tokuya Higashigawa
51 books23 followersTokuya Higashigawa (1968–) debuted in 2002 with a novel that won him the Kappa-ONE Newcomers Prize in a contest open to the general public. Since then, he has concentrated solely on writing humorous mysteries, a genre that is not well established in Japan. With Nazotoki wa dina no ato de (The Riddle-Solving Can Wait till After Dinner), he became a best-selling author. Jokes and witty dialogue between unconventional characters are his forte, but his works are held solidly together by tricks of logic and well-conceived puzzles. Higashigawa has received praise from older mystery writers for his skillful reinventions of such devices as the locked-room murder and the dying message, and for his versatility in being able to craft novels that involve kidnappings, contract killings, and other daring crimes.

Because I didn't have much time to write reviews at the beginning of the year (or I had, but I didn't; unnecessarily complicated, right?), here I am, trying to remember the plot of some of the books I read some months ago, which should not be an impediment for me to write a review, but it actually is if the book was not memorable at all (for good or for bad).
And this is the case with this "殺意は必ず三度ある" of which I remember its poor attempts at humor, its not very detailed character development, its lame mystery and plot overall, and the fact that it was a struggle in some moments because of the silly case and its writing style.
It all goes around a person being killed in a baseball field, and the investigation and consequences around it. But the 'twist' is not very good and all that comes before it, in particular the characters' interactions, don't make the proceedings particularly enjoyable.
If you feel like reading a mystery book and have low expectations...
The best: I can't remember anything that comes to my head
The worst: the mystery and its development is poor, also the twist, also the characters and their attempts at humor...
Other options: Mystery, and in Japanese? Many. In other languages? Many. Kirino, Miyabe, Christie, Läckberg...
5/10
