5.0 out of 5 stars A Fascinating Tale February 27, 2015 By Karsun Format:Kindle Edition|Verified PurchaseAshmedai: Eden's Guardians is book one of the Eden's Guardian's franchise and of course, tells me that there are more on the way. This book by Ifeoma Okafor-Obi is a tale of Ashmedai, a fallen Demi-God and a mortal who he falls in love with, Linda.
I wasn't so sure at first that this would be the kind of book that I enjoyed but as soon as I got to the first chapter, I was drawn in. While it starts out a little different, by chapter one we get to read about a regular woman just like the rest of us (that is, if you're a woman) and her daily life. The exception to the normalcy is of course, Ashmedai. This is where the story takes an interesting turn and it is certainly a unique book like no other I've read. The writing style was excellent and the story was fascinating.�4.0 out of 5 stars `It feels like touching the bare skin on the back of an Adonis, and since I've had poor luck with men, this would do for now.' February 23, 2015 By Grady Harp HALL OF FAMETOP 100 REVIEWERVINE VOICE Format:Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase Excepts from review shown - full review on author page: - Nigerian author ifeoma Okafor Obi makes her writing debut with this fascinating novel that blends mysticism, romance, and intercultural differences all the while introducing a very beautiful young new author. *(Some comments removed for space)
-Ifeoma's writing style is musical and lyrical and she knows how to weave an interesting storyline. -Ifeoma's writing style is full of flavor and fashion and warm humor and is very contemporary. She bears watching - especially as this is Book One of the EDENS GARDENS.

From the Author
Dear Reader,

Thanks to all of you who read the novel and were kind enough to drop yourcomments and reviews on how to improve it. One reader said 'Finally anauthentic paranormal romance told by a home grown African author.'
I hope every reader can connect with it. Even though I wrote the book, Ihave had a few laughs while reviewing it and so did my editor Lee Ann. Shecalled Ashmedai a 'Modern, Chilling, Steamy End-time Historical Fiction.'
It totally summarized the book for me and I hope you enjoy reading it.

Enjoy
IfeomaOkafor-Obi

From the Inside Flap
"Why am Inot surprised?"

Out of curiosity she googledthe name "Ashmedai." The options she got made her fall out of her chair insurprise. "Ashmedai - king of demons, Ashmedai and Solomon, Ashmedai inTalmud, Ashmedai - David builds the temple." She suddenly felt his presence andasked, "What do you have to say for yourself?" She got no reply. Why am Inot surprised?

She shut off her laptopin anger and went down the stairs. She still felt his presence. "Pray tell, atwhat time were you going to tell me that you were the king of the demons? Orwas I never supposed to find out?" She still got no reply.

She threw up her arms. Thestory of my life. I meet human jerks on a daily basis, and as if that's notenough, I am now dating demons--not your run of the mill pesky demons; no that's notmy type. I am fraternizing with no less than the king himself!

`It feels like touching the bare skin on the back of an Adonis, and since I've had poor luck with men, this would do for now.'
By Grady Harp
Nigerian author ifeoma Okafor Obi makes her writing debut with this fascinating novel that blends mysticism, romance, and intercultural differences all the while introducing a very beautiful young new author. She has been a finalist in a BBC writing competition, has a degree in Biochemistry and works in Sales Strategy & Business Development as a Commercial Strategy Expert. But writing is her first love and ASHMEDAI is her entry card into the world of published novels.

Ifeoma's writing style is musical and lyrical and she knows how to weave an interesting storyline. The book is short (125 pages) and she makes the most of her ideas in a very brief space. The dichotomy between the spieit world and the human world takes some adjusting to understand the double meanings.

On the author's website there is a very fine distillation of the complexities of the story - something that will help people new to her medium feel a kinship. `Linda was hurt when she realized that her fiance of 2 years had gotten married behind her back. She never saw it coming and decides she needs a break to fix her `bull s*** detection meter'. She relocates to Abuja in her home country in Nigeria to get over the deception and also pursue her lifelong dream of gourmet catering. There she meets her handsome neighbor Anayo. Anayo is a nice and decent man. He had played the field in his hey days but was looking to settle down with a nice woman and start a family. He is strongly attracted to the lady living opposite him. Something about her vivacious character was drawing him in. Ashmedai is a demigod. Handsome and charismatic, he caused a stir amongst the female angels in heaven so was given the prestigious title of Edens guardian and sent to the realm between heaven and earth to rule over Eden with some angels. In Eden, he meets, falls for a lady and marries her even though union between humans and angels is forbidden. As punishment, he was turned to a demon of the flesh with those who fought with him and cast into the 9th level of hell but later released and allowed to live beside Eden. There they became the demons called incubus and succubus. Ashmedai tried again to capture Eden and was trapped in a statue and placed in a cave in modern day Thailand. The statue was discovered and sold on eBay. Anayo accidentally broke the statue and woke him. Ashmedai meets Linda and realises she is the reincarnation of the woman for whom he was banished from Eden. He decides to reinstate himself as an angel to be able to marry her. To achieve this, he needs Anayo's seed for a son and his body. That way he would be a perfect trinity- he would be the father and the son in addition to being a spirit as an angel. Unfortunately for Ashmedai, his ex wives Moriah and Yuki get wind of his activities and put spanners in the works for him. Together with Anayo and a Guardian called Gad, they teach Ashmedai one or two things why revenge is sweet.'

Ifeoma's writing style is full of flavor and fashion and warm humor and is very contemporary. She bears watching - especially as this is Book One of the EDENS GARDENS. Grady Harp, February 15

Travel across Oceans of Time: Search in Depths of Heavenly Dimensions for Eternal Love
By Scarlett Jensen
From Kahlil Gibran: There is someone special for everyone. They come from different generations, travel across oceans of time and the depth of heavenly dimensions to be with you. He takes your hand for the first time and the memory of his touch transcends time and sends a jolt through every atom of your being. That is soul recognition with whom you feel a bond. If both recognize each other, no volcano can erupt with more passion. To find eternal love we go through mystical experiences, chemistry of two bodies, break-ups, commitment or suffer the consequences of unreciprocated love, energy and beauty. In loss of love we experience grief. The soul is immortal and an incredible level of love, intimacy and awareness of a presence, can be felt when a surge of love, warmth, aroma and taste of sweetness is experienced.

Love is the strongest force in the world and is the real source of security and strength. We are also beings of light allowing it to shine like a halo over us depicting our souls in spiritual life.

The ego, or demi-god finds strength when mortals lose their boundaries in immorality, when experiencing anger and loss of peace. Anger eats the soul and with a demi-god, you cannot move to higher worlds. If Ashmedai, the sex -god/ demon of lust inhabits you, you will live a life with a creature expelled from the heavens. Being with Ashmedai leaves you empty and lost.

In this spectacular novel, we meet a writer whom I presume is Nigerian. She puts poetry in her words while she sets her work in Abuja, Nigeria. Her characters have a contemporary style of living in" Edenville "and its neighbouring surroundings. We learn about the protagonists, Linda and Anayo and Zika and Shehu. We accompany them on their journey in search of true love and marriage. The author uses the following themes and settings to construct her story in finding sense in relationships:

The Garden of Eden inspires her to write about Adam and Eve, the serpent (evil) and the tree of life;

The demi-god Ashmedai, temporary decends to earth and flirts with the virginal Linda aiming to leave her with child, a son of immortal kind;

We see how true love expells lust;

How spirits are invoked to deal with the bad; and

Restoration of life and self-preservation is felt throughout the novel. We get a sense of how to eliminate the bad.

To attain immortality for his son, Ashmethai wants Linda to bear his child while he wants to reside in Anayo's body awaiting the birth on earth; We see how egoism falters; We see how the concept of reincarnation and eternal life is nurtured in the story to obtain good; The happy message is that Ashmedai who wants to merge body and spirit, in the likeness of God, is defeated.
We examine -
Temptation;
Awakening of senses;
Seduction, if taken against your will in the name of lust;
Soulmate search;
True love;
Passion;
Lust;
Guardianship;
Destiny and fate;
Recognition of heavenly abode and man as God's creation;
Innocence and safety.Gad is the guardian angel in Edenville; He has the healing hand;

Dreams, trances and consciousness are used to connect with the spirits and after-life; we have spooks in the story; and
Free will and freedom as a gift received through the ability to make a choice between good and evil; By choice and through freedom we obtain wisdom to create a greater good.

Ifeoma Okafor Obi is a worthy craftsman of literature and puts words together with pure wit and intelligence using fresh simile and comparison and demonstrates her ability as a poet.

Practical, To-the-point Requirements User Guide for Managers
By Serge J. Van Steenkiste
Ivy F. Hooks and Kristin A. Farry give their audience a clear methodology about how to eliminate rework and unnecessary features rooted in poor requirement definition for making product development or procurement faster and cheaper without sacrificing the better. Good requirement definition is more important than ever to especially fast-paced high-tech companies for which researching, developing, and commercializing products on schedule and within budget is key to be, become, and remain competitive. Interestingly, Hooks and Farry explain to their readers the profound impact that culture, education, and management have on requirement definition. Their critical examination of the "seven cultural forces that define Americans" in chapter 2 helps their (foreign) audience better understand why some (American) marketers have no time to do it right the first time, but endless time and a company bankroll to do it wrong over and over again to quote Kevin J. Clancy and Peter C. Krieg in their excellent Counter-intuitive Marketing. Hooks and Farry remind their audience that nothing can change for the faster, cheaper, and better without a management commitment. Management must make very clear through their entire organization that quality products begin long before design and manufacture. These products find their genesis in quality requirements. To summarize, Customer-Centered Products is a must read for anyone involved/interested in product development or sourcing. The only weakness of the book lies in the concentration of examples from a few industries about which Hooks and Farry are very knowledgeable.

One of the best product books on the market!
By Jenn
Hooks and Farry show you how to get it right the FIRST time, providing practical, easy to follow directions to achieve what every company wants - faster, better, cheaper products that are SUCCESSFUL. This book explains product management from an engineering perspective that is as practical as it is useful (unlike other books that put too much 'marketing spin' on product management, making it seem more like some mystical process). 3/4 of the way through this book I called the authors, and they are now coaching our entire company on this philosophy. And it's working!

I am working on a key project and needed methodology to improve
how we specified the product we wanted. I found the book to be very useful and we are applying its methodology to our current project with great success. Only improvement might be additional info on what software is available to do requirements planning for smaller, non-software, related projects.

Deceived (A Hannah Smith Novel), by Randy Wayne White

An almost twenty-year-old unsolved murder from Florida’s pot-hauling days gets Hannah Smith’s attention, but so does a more immediate problem. A private museum devoted solely to the state’s earliest settlers and pioneers has been announced, and many of Hannah’s friends and neighbors in Sulfur Wells are being pressured to make contributions.

The problem is the whole thing is a scam, and when Hannah sets out to uncover who’s behind it, she discovers that things are even worse than she thought. The museum scam is a front for a real estate power play, her entire village is in danger of being wiped out—and the forces behind it have no intention of letting anything, or anyone, stand in their way.

From Booklist
*Starred Review* Introduced in Gone (2012), fishing guide and sometime PI Hannah Smith returns, and her plate is full. Her willful and sometimes flaky mother is driving her crazy, and Hannah has decided that she’s in love with Doc Ford, star of White’s other series. But Doc takes off unexpectedly for Venezuela, and Hannah’s life becomes far dicier: a bogus charity that is scamming senior citizens is really a front for a real-estate-development scheme that could wipe out Hannah’s tiny home town, and the people behind the scheme are utterly ruthless. Strong-willed and tough-minded, Hannah is also suspicious of just about everyone she encounters, and some of these suspicions function as red herrings. Bogus charities and rapacious real-estate developers are as quintessentially Florida as orange juice, but White also tosses in other Florida verities, including willful destruction of ecological and anthropological treasures, industrial-scale Medicare fraud, and the heyday of Florida drug smuggling and its tragic impact on thousands of Floridians. But the reliance on familiar themes in Florida crime fiction is no quibble; Hannah brings a fresh perspective to White’s much-loved southwest Florida world. --Thomas Gaughan

The Hidden Truth
By Gary Severance
Randy Wayne White's second Hannah Smith novel is a fast-paced exciting story of murder, intimidation, and corruption on the southwest coast of Florida. Hannah is a fishing guide in the Sanibel Island area who has a private detective license made possible by her detective uncle Jake prior to his death. Although Hannah does not seek work as a detective, she gets involved in trouble frequently because of her family's long and checkered past living and working in the coastal area. In this adventure, the legacy of marijuana smuggling in the 1960's involving family and friends brings legal problems that interfere with Hannah's current fishing guide business. When she investigates these problems, it is like falling in a nest of fire ants. Swarming out of the past are characters beset by drug addiction, greed, murderous rage, sadism,pit bull ownership, and violence. Hannah develops some new potentially lasting friendships in law enforcement, a handsome special prosecutor Joel and a hyperactive deputy sheriff Bertie. Also, there are good connections in the story with characters from the first Hannah Smith novel Gone (Hannah Smith Novels): Doc Ford a marine biologist/black ops agent and Tomlinson an aging hippy who carries on some of the 1960's marijuana traditions.

Hannah is an interesting character, young and attractive but somewhat reticent to get involved with male suitors. She has had two intimate dates with Doc Ford, but in this story Doc is out of the picture. He is in Venezuela involved in some black ops kidnapping action. While Doc Ford is gone, Joel puts a full courtship press on Hannah. She is dismissive of Joel's moves and is very tentative in her commitment to Doc Ford so we will see how those relationships turn out if there are future Hannah Smith novels. Mr. White still writes his Doc Ford series with twenty published adventures featuring Doc Ford. I like the Hannah Smith mini-series so far, and will read the novels if Randy Wayne White continues to write them.
(Full disclosure: This novel was given to me for an honest review as part of the Early Reviewers program at LibraryThing)

A New Hannah Smith Thriller Set in the Doc Ford World of Gulf Coast Florida
By Fairbanks Reader - Bonnie Brody
Randy Wayne White's Deceived is a thriller set in the southern Gulf Coast of Florida. It features the same fictional world inhabited by his Doc Ford series of best sellers.

In this novel, Hannah Smith, a fishing guide and part-time private investigator is the protagonist. Florida's coastal history and greed, violence and corruption mingle in a well-crafted thriller. Hannah comes from an old coastal family with roots in the fishing industry and pot smuggling. Her mother has always been difficult, but since having a stroke she has become a real challenge. Hannah reluctantly agrees to check out her mother's best friend, White, who hasn't answered the phone in a few days. When Hannah goes to check out the scene she becomes embroiled in a series of violent and revelatory episodes that keep your interest throughout. There are some nice personal touches and the Florida history is, as always in a White novel, significant to the plot and interesting to anyone interested in the state.

Deceived: Florida real estate scams with a new spin
By John Williamson
The Sunshine State has its share of excellent authors, which may be a surprise to some. In fact, editor Kevin McCarthy's now-dated 1992 title The Book Lover's Guide to Florida listed over 2,000 writers worth noting. Some could be classified as permanent residents and others as seasonal snowbirds, ranging from Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, Robert Frost and Ernest Hemingway, to John D. MacDonald, Carl Hiassen, Elmore Leonard, and of course Randy Wayne White.

Deceived is the newest offering by this Florida author, outdoor columnist and recent restaurateur, and is the second title in his Hannah Smith series. My first encounter with this author was with his 1992 title, The Heat Islands, the second of his Doc Ford novels, which immediately caused the purchase of Sanibel Flats, the first of this series.

I had read Gone, the first of White's Hannah Smith novel shortly after it was released, looking forward to how he would present a character change to a female protagonist. It was a good but unsettling 3-star read, as the character of Hannah seemed flat. Speaking subjectively, she seemed to be a solid and independent young woman, but in a two-dimensional sense.

But Hannah comes across better and more well rounded in this new book, a tale of a twenty-year-old unsolved homicide from one of the darker sides of the Sunshine State's history: pot trafficking. This gets Hannah's focus, but another situation looms and has a higher priority. A private museum has been announced, one that is planned to be a showpiece for Florida's early pioneers and settlers. Many of Hannah's fellow residents and friends in the village of Sulfur Wells are feeling the pressure to make contributions to this new facility.

However, the entire proposition is a scam, a fraud. Hannah attempts to discover who sets out to uncover whoever's behind the swindle, and finds that things are even worse than she might have thought. The museum is actually a front for a strategic real estate maneuver, and her town is in danger of being destroy completely. As might be guessed, those behind the scam are out to make sure nobody and nothing will stand in their way.

If this seems to be reminiscent of the late John D. MacDonald's 1977's lengthy potboiler Condominium, it's no rehash. MacDonald was a long-time resident of Sarasota's Siesta Key, and he took a dim view of the proliferation of condos in Florida. Author Carl Hiassen has covered this topic a number of times, but Randy Wayne White's newest tale is an original spin on this all-too-familiar topic of avaricious real estate development in the Sunshine State.

The settings are good and will be familiar to readers of the Doc Ford novels, and it's good to see Hannah Smith evolving into a fascinating character in her own right. Speaking subjectively, she's not quite there yet, but getting much closer in this tale. This reader will be looking forward to the next one in this series.

Deceived is a good 4�-star tale, and though Doc Ford may be an incidental character here, this has all of the making for a good series. At 352 pages it's a fairly fast read that introduces more new characters. Without dropping spoilers, keep your eyes open for Hannah's friend Birdy, and let's hope that she appears again in the future. This is a good one from author Randy Wayne White, offering Florida real estate scams with a new spin.

Very Good
By D. Williams
Older books are the best from which to find truth, as they were written before political correctness became epidemic. Modern authors and so-called historians are afraid to write facts, which may offend.

Must read for anyone contemplating the Corps as a Career.
By William P. Urban
I am a Vietnam Vet and was in the same Province as Chesty's son Lewis Puller Jr. (Quang Nam Province, 1970) One of the reasons I read the bio about his father as well as the son's own auto-bio. War is no joking matter and no game as Lewis Jr. found out. You also can't fight a war all by yourself which is sometimes the impression gained from Burke's book. The striking point to me about Chesty Puller however, more than his heroism under heavy enemy fire, is that Chesty, advancing from Private to Lieutenant General, throughout his long career never forgot where he came from. Time after time in incidents vividly described in Burke's book, Burke clearly shows that Chesty never got carried away with his own legend and always maintained a genuine and real concern for the enlisted men who did the fighting and the dying. And who, when he saw Officer abuse of enlisted men, as opposed to ordinary disipline nipped it in the bud. This book clearly shows that the enlisted men were very close to Chesty's heart and that Chesty never asked anyone, enlisted or NCO or Officer to do anything that he had not or would not do himself. Very excellent book. Was not able to stop reading once I began it.

Semper Fidelis
By A Customer
Burke Davis wrote a definitive account of the legendary 'Chesty' Puller. It's as much a biography of Puller as it is a history of the Corps, for the two were intertwined for the better part of forty years. Very easy read, always entertaining, never a dull page. Should be required reading for all military professionals, especially Marines. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

They don't make em like this anymore
By Chris Gregor
Burke Davis did a spectacular job with this book and I highly recommend it. Not having served in the Marine Corps, this book gave me a pungent taste and deep admiration for this elite fighting brotherhood of which Puller is a legend. What came through to me most about Puller was his incredible humanity and compassion for his men. Puller would never eat until his men ate first, and in the midst of the frostbitten epic Marine engagement at the Chosin Resevoir in the Korean War, Davis writes that Puller took his own jacket off to give to a grunt who didn't have one. This to me is what made Puller special and puts a gold plate on the heroic bust that Davis has crafted - fearsome pugnacity, steely toughness, and unparalleled leadership were qualities he possessed in uncommon quantities, but his heart of gold was what makes him and this book stand out. It's a sad commentary on modern day America that a man like Chesty Puller would probably be mocked, scorned and marginalized. A good read.

From Publishers Weekly
Berlinski (author of the notable On Systems Analysis has saturated himself in advanced mathematics, analytical philosophy and, to some degree, modern linguistics. Here he swarms over the reader from each of these directions, describing in amusing-to-ribald fashion his experiences in labs and at seminars with famed scientists in San Francisco, Paris, Vienna, Trieste and elsewhere. His theme: that contemporary science, with its almost-daily discoveries and apparent marvels, seems firmly oriented toward the future, but underlying its key assumptions is a "system of belief" still tied to 19th century mechanistic determinism despite the innovations of Einstein, quantum mechanics, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and molecular biology. Berlinski's intellectual roller-coaster comes at last to the notion of randomness, and in brilliant but dizzying final chapters that discuss DNA, catastrophe theory, metric space and "life as a language-like system," he seems to arrive at a nonmystical vitalism that may well bring his peers to their feetcheering or protesting.

Berlinski (author of the notable On Systems Analysis has saturated himself in advanced mathematics, analytical philosophy and, to some degree, modern linguistics. Here he swarms over the reader from each of these directions, describing in amusing-to-ribald fashion his experiences in labs and at seminars with famed scientists in San Francisco, Paris, Vienna, Trieste and elsewhere. His theme: that contemporary science, with its almost-daily discoveries and apparent marvels, seems firmly oriented toward the future, but underlying its key assumptions is a "system of belief" still tied to 19th century mechanistic determinism despite the innovations of Einstein, quantum mechanics, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and molecular biology. Berlinski's intellectual roller-coaster comes at last to the notion of randomness, and in brilliant but dizzying final chapters that discuss DNA, catastrophe theory, metric space and "life as a language-like system," he seems to arrive at a nonmystical vitalism that may well bring his peers to their feetcheering or protesting.

One of Berlinski's Best
By Edwin E. Klingman
David Berlinski combines knowledge of mathematics, physics, and philosophy, with an irreverent attitude and unique writing style. In this book he combines many personal anecdotes with an analysis and overview of (per the title) language, life, logic, and luck.

Berlinksi is disliked by many, partially because he pokes fun at them and partly because he is correct. For example, he remarks that "the sole example of reductionism successfully achieved involves the derivation of thermodynamics from statistical mechanics." and, "Like other men, molecular biologists evidently derive some satisfaction from imagining that the orthodoxy they espouse is ceaselessly under attack."

Of his many books, I find this one, "Black Mischief" and "The Devil's Delusion" to be by far his best. If you are free of orthodoxy, you'll probably enjoy it, otherwise you may not wish to venture here. One need not agree with every aspect of Berlinski's reasoning to find it entertaining. But, as you may gather from other reviews, if it's your ox being gored, you probably won't enjoy it. In particular, if you worship academia, steer clear.

Always an enjoyable, intellectually satisfying read...
By Eric P Johnsa
I just bought the Kindle version of the book yesterday (the ONLY way I buy books), and I have gotten into it rather heavily. As usual, Dr. Berlinski writes very succinctly, brilliantly, and sets a high standard of English usage and comprehension. This book, nor any other by Berlinski are for the faint of heart, weak-minded, or tacitly illiterate.... no, his work is reserved for the hard-thinking, the erudite learners, the elite thinkers who do not fear outside-of-the-box style of skepticism. I am a HUGE fan, and will buy ANYTHING his publishers print with his name on it.

Enjoyable read
By Daniel C. Hall
I enjoyed reading the softer sections of the book because I like Berlinski's style. I'm afraid that my math aptitude does not equip me to enjoy most of his more technical arguments though. Accordingly, I have given the book a 4 star rating. Your opinion may vary of course, depending on how well you follow set theory and basic calculus.

The main idea here is that one thing leads to another. One may deduce then, that if the seed of an idea starts out right, what follows may, after all, end up right. If we get it wrong from the beginning though....well: think about string theory for instance.

If the experimental data doesn't fit the theory it might be a better idea to throw out the theory than to throw out the data. If one rather likes the theory though, what often results is obfuscation and denial. It's only human.

The Devotion of Suspect X: A Detective Galileo Novel (Detective Galileo Series), by Keigo Higashino

Yasuko Hanaoka is a divorced, single mother who thought she had finally escaped her abusive ex-husband Togashi. When he shows up one day to extort money from her, threatening both her and her teenaged daughter Misato, the situation quickly escalates into violence and Togashi ends up dead on her apartment floor. Overhearing the commotion, Yasuko's next door neighbor, middle-aged high school mathematics teacher Ishigami, offers his help, disposing not only of the body but plotting the cover-up step-by-step.
When the body turns up and is identified, Detective Kusanagi draws the case and Yasuko comes under suspicion. Kusanagi is unable to find any obvious holes in Yasuko's manufactured alibi and yet is still sure that there's something wrong. Kusanagi brings in Dr. Manabu Yukawa, a physicist and college friend who frequently consults with the police. Yukawa, known to the police by the nickname Professor Galileo, went to college with Ishigami. After meeting up with him again, Yukawa is convinced that Ishigami had something to do with the murder. What ensues is a high level battle of wits, as Ishigami tries to protect Yasuko by outmaneuvering and outthinking Yukawa, who faces his most clever and determined opponent yet.

From Booklist
One of Japan’s best-selling crime novelists makes his American debut in an atmospheric thriller about a desperate woman, Yasuko, who, craving a peacefull life with her daughter, Misato, kills her abusive lout of an ex-husband. The next-door neighbor, Ishigami, helps hide the body and improvises a cover-up. When the body is eventually found, however, determined investigator Kusanagi, with the help of Dr. Yukawa, a physicist who knew Ishigami in college, senses that something is amiss with Yasuko’s story. A cat-and-mouse, Dostoevsky-like investigation ensues. Higashino explores just how far a relationship built on a terrible event can last. Suggest to readers familiar with Natsuo Kirino (Real World, 2008), another Japanese master of psychological crime fiction, and Karin Fossum, whose Norway-set thrillers are also drenched in psychological terror. --Jessica Moyer

Review

“…The best mystery novel I read [last year] was a standalone translation of a Japanese novel, The Devotion of Suspect X… a puzzle mystery that manages never to become a "cozy…" Ishigami, a mathematical genius who, through the vicissitudes of academic life has become a mere high school teacher, has fallen in love with the divorced mother-of-one who lives next door, and when she commits a killing in self-defense, he takes over the crime scene and arranges a brilliant deception that completely fools the police… [The Devotion of Suspect X] is smart at every level. Each revelation is smarter than the illusion it tears aside. And the conclusion, which depends on understanding of human character rather than logic or science, is both satisfying and frustrating. Satisfying, because it is utterly just and true to character; frustrating, because quite against our own moral sense we find ourselves rooting for the bad guy – because we understand him so well he doesn't seem all that bad.” ―Orson Scott Card

“Higashino won Japan's Naoki Prize for Best Novel with this stunning thriller about miscarried human devotion, a bestseller in Japan. The author successfully combines unquestionable reasoning with unquenchable pain. In this brutally laconic translation, cold logic battles warm hearts throughout this elegant proof of the wages of sin, in which everyone suffers and no one can ever win.” ―Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Winner of Japan's prestigious Naoki Prize and a bestseller there with more than two million copies sold, this literary psychological thriller is a subtle and shifting murder mystery. It will make readers redefine devotion and trust in an otherwise complete stranger.” ―Library Journal (starred review)

“Veteran police detective matches wits with a brilliant rookie criminal. This character-driven mystery by the prolific Higashino has much to recommend, including a droll Columbo-like sleuth and a great surprise ending.” ―Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“In The Devotion of Suspect X, Keigo Higashino weaves a web of intellectual gamesmanship in which the truth is a weapon that leads both police and readers astray. The ingenius conclusion is so unexpected that it's difficult to imagine anyone seeing it coming. Smart, smart characters.” ―Jaqueline Winspear

“How could we have ever imagined, without the help of a novel like this, that Japanese life could be so fraught with suffering and so entertaining all at once?” ―Alan Cheuse, Dallas Morning News on HIMITSU (The Secret), published as NAOKO in the U.S.

“Higashino is a deft conjurer of human relationships, and while this is first and foremost a tale of grief-- --he infuses it with spasms of sharp humor.” ―East Bay Express on Himitsu (The Secret)

“The Devotion of Suspect X has all the brilliant intricacy of the best Golden Age mysteries - puzzle within puzzle, twist after twist - with a modern sensibility. It is a wonderful, fresh take on the classic mystery's intellectual struggle between protagonist and antagonist, adds to it all the right amounts of tension and pacing, places it in a fascinating setting, and gives of all of this plenty of heart.” ―Jan Burke, New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award winning author of Kidnapped and Bones

“Japanese crime writers excel at many things: one is the slow tightening of the noose that's at the fast-pounding heart of the police procedural. The Devotion of Suspect X is a terrific book in that tradition and it's about time American readers got a crack at it.” ―SJ Rozan, Edgar Award winning author of Winter and Night and On the Line

“The Devotion of Suspect X is elegant and spare and gripping and vivid. Most of all, however, it is deeply moving, and this is what sets it apart!” ―Jesse Kellerman, bestselling author of Trouble and The Executor

“Irresistible! A mind-twisting story that will have readers plunging in to try to solve the crime before the math genius, the physics professor, or the cop get there first.” ―Nancy Pickard, New York Times bestselling author of The Scent of Rain and Lightning and The Virgin of Small Plains

A battle of wits
By Denise Crawford
This is a very clever mystery novel originally written in Japanese and translated into English and is this author's first major English publication. Apparently this novel is a continuation of a popular serial drama, Galileo, and has also been made into a Japanese film, Suspect-X that was released in 2008. The recurring character in the series is Manabu Yukawa, a brilliant physics professor at Imperial University who is respectfully called Detective Galileo. He assists the local police sometimes with particularly vexsome cases, and this murder is one of those.

Yasuko Hanaoka is a divorced mother working in a box lunch shop. She left her old life as a hostess behind and is trying to live a quiet existence while raising her teenage daughter, Misato. Unfortunately for her, she has a deadbeat ex-husband who is looking for her and who wants to get back together and who wants money. When he comes to extort her and threatens to harm her daughter at her apartment on that fateful evening, she and her daughter murder Shinji Togashi. Overhearing the scuffle, next door neighbor -- a mathematics teacher named Tetsuya Ishigami -- comes to her door and offers Yasuko total salvation. He tells her that he will take care of everything and will help them avoid prosecution and imprisonment if only they do exactly as he says.

Although the lead detectives on the case suspect that the alibis of Yasuko and Misato aren't quite ironclad, police are confused about whether or not they are truly suspects in the murder. With fantastic misdirection and precise circumlocution directed behind the scenes by Ishigami, the pair are continuing their daily lives as if innocent. Meanwhile the intrepid and faithful Ishigami is still pulling the strings of the investigation. Detective Kusanagi, certain that something fishy is going on, consults his friend Yukawa. It so happens that Yukawa knows Ishigami from their shared history at Imperial University where they both attended -- Yukawa majoring in physics and Ishigami in mathematics. What follows after Yukawa gets involved is a true battle of wits between the two former classmates.

I enjoyed the way the investigation unfolded and the interaction between the characters. The novel is complex and is definitely a thinking person's read. Scattered throughout are complex philosophical questions and mathematical proofs. The highly intelligent Yukawa and Ishigami provide point and counterpoint as the multilayered elements of the crime are slowly revealed. The conclusion, however, is painful. I closed the book with a profound sense of grief.

Recommend to discriminating readers. Don't be put off by this perhaps being an unfamiliar author, or by the fact that it is a translation from Japanese.

A different kind of crime novel
By TChris
The Devotion of Suspect X is a different kind of crime novel. It isn't a whodunit: we learn in the opening pages that Yasuko kills her ex-husband, Togashi. Nor is the manner or motive of the killing a mystery: Togashi's aggressive behavior toward Yasuko and her daughter, and Yasuko's strangulation of Togashi with her daughter's assistance, are vividly described. For much of the novel, The Devotion of Suspect X seems like a police procedural combined with a detective story. The role of private detective is played by a physicist, Yukawa, who happens to be a good friend of the investigating police officer, Kusanagi. Yukawa also happens to be an old classmate of Yasuko's neighbor, a mathematician named Ishigami, who assisted Yasuko in the aftermath of the killing. Initially, the mystery surrounds the body that turns up days later -- with a pulped face and charred fingertips -- and whether Ishigami's scheme to keep the police from proving Yasuko's complicity will be successful. Yet about two-thirds of the way through the novel, the plot takes a sharp turn, and a new mystery emerges: Why is Suspect X doing something so completely unexpected?

I enjoyed The Devotion of Suspect X. Keigo Higashino's writing style (or perhaps the translator's) is straightforward; the prose doesn't soar but neither does it distract. The novel is tightly constructed; there's nothing in it that doesn't need to be there. Yasuko is a remarkably bland character (given that she's a killer) but the Buddha-like Ishigami and his friend Yukawa are interesting and their battle of wits brings the story to life. Ishigami's interaction with Kusanagi (another bland character) is less interesting but it serves to advance the plot.

The Devotion of Suspect X isn't a spectacular work of literature but it tells a good story. The plot unfolds rapidly and surprisingly. There is, ultimately, a mystery to unravel, and its solution completely floored me -- yet the author played fair: all the clues were there. The last couple of pages are a bit disappointing in that one of the characters behaves too predictably (probably the result of the author's desire to keep readers happy), but that gripe didn't overcome my generally positive feelings about the book. I would give The Devotion of Suspect X 4 1/2 stars if that option were available.

I think I've already found the best thriller of 2011
By joyful
Too bad I read it in January.

By the end of the first chapter, you will already know who did it and how. That's not why The Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino is a compulsive page-turner. This is not a run of the mill whodunit nor an elaborately staged mystery. When you get to the end, when you race to the end, you'll slap your head like I did and realize how simple, but brilliant the story is.

"'...you science types all seem to say the same things.'

'What do you mean?'

'When I visited him, Ishigami said something a lot like what you said just now.' Kusanagi told his friend about Ishigami's mathematics test.

'Blind spots due to assumptions, eh? How like him.' Yukawa grinned. But the next moment, the physicist's expression changed. Suddenly he stood, and clutching his head in his hands, he walked over to the window...

'Hey, Yukawa?...'

'Impossible," Yukawa muttered. 'There's no way he could have...'"

So there's a little bit of science and math in here - after all, a physicist and mathematician are pitted against one another. But it's not some DaVinci Code with math or anything like that. The premise is that the murder has been laid out by Ishigami much like a mathematical proof, luring the police detectives and the physicist into solving it the way he would want them to - but that's all I'm going to say because I don't want to divulge too much.

I'm not sure if I've ever read a book where I rooted for the "bad guys" as much as I did here. But that's just the thing - the murderer and her unexpected accomplice aren't evil at all; they were just caught in an impossible situation. Will they get away with it or will the suspicious physicist figure it all out?

With every twist and turn, I dreaded that they would get caught, but astonished at the outcome of events. I thought I knew what the big surprise was but I gasped when I reached the last chapter. Of course, some of the incidental math & science scenes went way over my head, so maybe I was too dim to see it.
