Shūsuke Michio (1975–)  takes his pen name from the mystery writer Michio Tsuzuki, one of his idols. Michio first became interested in reading in high school, when he was inspired by the works of Yasunari Kawabata and Osamu Dazai. He began writing short-shorts in college and continued producing fiction after graduation in his time away from work. His first break as an author came when he received the Horror and Suspense Special Prize for Se no me (Eyes in the Back) in 2004; the following year he quit his job to write full-time. In 2009 his novel Karasu no oyayubi (By Rule of Crow’s Thumb) earned the Mystery Writers of Japan Award in addition to a Naoki Prize nomination; in a testament to the consistently high quality of his work, he was nominated for the biannual prize four more times on his way to winning it in 2011 withTsuki to kani (Moon and Crab). Other honors include the 2010 Yamamoto Shūgorō Prize for Kōbai no hana (Flowers of Light), a collection of linked short stories. With his knack for easily crossing over genres such as horror and the mystery, Michio is a promising hitmaker among the new generation of writers.

どんでん返しの名人だと聞いていたので、読んでみた。すごく面白かった。でも、なんか会話や登場人物の雰囲気が、現代っぽくない。江戸川乱歩の少年探偵団を連想させられた。でも、他の本も読んでみたくなった。

洋一郎在處理完妻子喪禮後開始與兒子兩人相依為命。這本書其實都是以兒子的視角來寫的,寫看到了青梅竹馬朋友亞紀的奇怪反應,寫亞紀媽媽在自己媽媽過世之後不久也自殺,之後自己的爸爸也變得有點奇怪,但原來這一切都是環環相扣的…

故事算平鋪直敘,雖然是有懸疑之處,但沒有太驚奇的真相,書也不厚,順順的就看完了。不差,但也沒有太令人印象深刻的點。

Sakie, qua đời do ung thư. Điều đấy để lại nỗi đau cho chồng cô ấy, Yoichiro và con trai, Ryoshuke. Điều kỳ lạ, Sakie chết chưa được bao lâu, thì bạn thân cô ấy, Megumi, đã tự sát, và cô con gái của Megumi, Aki, lại gặp tai nạn giao thông.

Mình thích cách câu chuyện được bao trùm bởi sự u ám - cảm giác như có một "cái bóng" đang rình rập nhân vật. Xuyên suốt là các thông tin về bệnh tâm lý. Tiếc là diễn biến câu chuyện dài dòng và các sự kiện sau cùng cũng chẳng liên quan với nhau. Và ở gần cuối câu chuyện có một cú twist, nhưng mình không thích mấy. Mình lại thích cách lý giải từng sự kiện xảy ra trong sách hơn là twist.

Điều gì sẽ xảy ra với con người sau khi họ chết?
Họ tan biến.
Thế còn sau khi tan biến....
Chẳng còn gì.
