Keigo Higashino has a perfect record in my book. The author was recommended by my favorite bookstore and I started by reading The Devotion of Suspect X.

What I love about Keigo Higashino’s writing is that he does not follow the who-done-it template. He finds other means to keep the readers hooked, such that it is impossible to stop reading. ...  More

King of Scars is part of the vivid and beautiful Grishaverse created by Leigh Bardugo. She combines characters from Shadow and Bone as well as Six of Crows and the result is fantastic.

Needless to say, you should read the Shadow and Bone Trilogy as well as the Six of Crows Duology before getting to King of Scars. ...  More
