A Man by Keiichiro Hirano



I love reading Japanese fiction and I am big Murakami fan, so I had to request " A Man" when I discovered it on Steve Donoghue's booktube channel.

We follow a lawyer solve a mystery surrounding a swapped identity and while we tag along we're getting to know him and his own thoughts about his identity, relationship and family life. 

I could hardly put it down. The atmosphere is great and the characters are each interesting in their own way. The only reason why I couldn't give this 5 cups of coffee was the ending.

* BIG SPOILER WARNING*

I was actually hoping that he would contact Omiura to sort out his own new identity after the revelation in the restaurant about the text message his wife received from her boss. I felt let down as he wasn't mentioned anymore after we read about Yuto and Rie accepting Kido's story about Daisuke/Makoto.

I will keep an eye out as I'd love to read the author's future work.

Thank you Netgalley and Amazon Crossing for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review. This was right down my alley.
