An average procedural crime drama. Unfortunately it has nothing to do with the Detective Galileo novels and that disappointed me greatly. These characters are all committing identity fraud. The writers should have just written them as original characters instead of using the names of the characters from the novels. The vibes and styles of the stories were also very different from the novels. Watch this as a procedural crime drama with very common tropes in comedy/crime dramas. I was going to watch season 2 to get it over with but now that I think about it, there’s no reason to put myself through it…

As all books by Keigo Higashino are, this book started off light enough, in the sense that all of our main characters seemed to have a friendly and cordial relationship with one another. And it surprised me, as the book was called Malice.

I've only read the Devotion of Suspect X and Salvation of a Saint by Keigo Higashino. And I can understand why Higashino decided to go with a new detective when writing this novel, as the book had a different tone to it than those two with Detective Galileo.

Anyway, I did enjoy this book. I thought it was fascinating and a little chilling too. Another great novel to Higashino's name!

Spoilers!!
