Publisher's Summary
Acclaimed best-selling novelist Kunihiko Hidaka is found brutally murdered in his home on the night before he's planning to leave Japan and relocate to Vancouver. His body is found in his office, a locked room, within his locked house, by his wife and his best friend, both of whom have rock solid alibis. Or so it seems.
At the crime scene, Police Detective Kyochiro Kaga recognizes Hidaka's best friend, Osamu Nonoguchi. Years ago when they were both teachers, they were colleagues at the same public school. Kaga went on to join the police force while Nonoguchi eventually left to become a full-time writer, though with not nearly the success of his friend Hidaka. As Kaga investigates, he eventually uncovers evidence that indicates that the two writers' relationship was very different that they claimed, that they were anything but best friends. But the question before Kaga isn't necessarily who, or how, but why.
In a brilliantly realized tale of cat and mouse, the detective and the killer battle over the truth of the past and how events that led to the murder really unfolded. And if Kaga isn't able to uncover and prove why the murder was committed, then the truth may never come out. Malice is one of the best-selling - the most acclaimed - novel in Keigo Higashino's series featuring police detective Kyochiro Kaga, one of the most popular creations of the best-selling novelist in Asia.

A master storyteller
It’s been a very long time since a book has kept me up all night because I just can’t put it down. This was my first experience with this author and I look forward to more of his books. Bravo!

Left me stunned!
I've read three books from Keigo Higashino now and they have not disappointed me yet. Wonderful, exciting, rich plot and characters, and perfect narration. Will definitely be getting Book 2 from this series!

sounded interesting
turned out to be very slow and the writing and narration is benign. I couldn't even get through to chapters without realising it wasn't going to get suspenseful or thrilling in my opinion.

This story gets lost in its telling
The book starts out with a lot of verve but loses its momentum. The plot is so convoluted that the author has to spend the entire last chapter (in the voice of the protagonist) explaining how it all happened. The Japanese setting offers only a smattering of insight into that society’s culture, and the translation has people talking a kind of American idiom that does the story no favours.
