David Pittu
From the author of the internationally bestselling, award-winning The Devotion of Suspect X comes the latest novel featuring "Detective Galileo."
In 2011, The Devotion of Suspect X was a hit with critics and readers and listeners alike. The first major English language publication from the most popular bestselling writer in Japan, it was acclaimed as "stunning," "brilliant," and "ingenious." Now physics professor Manabu Yukawa—Detective Galileo—returns in a new case of impossible murder, where instincts clash with facts and theory with reality.
Yoshitaka, who was about to leave his marriage and his wife, is poisoned by arsenic-laced coffee and dies. His wife, Ayane, is the logical suspect—except that she was hundreds of miles away when he was murdered. The lead detective, Tokyo Police Detective Kusanagi, is immediately smitten with her and refuses to believe that she could have had anything to do with the crime. His assistant, Kaoru Utsumi, however, is convinced Ayane is guilty. While Utsumi's instincts tell her one thing, the facts of the case are another matter. So she does what her boss has done for years when stymied—she calls upon Professor Manabu Yukawa.
But even the brilliant mind of Dr. Yukawa has trouble with this one, and he must somehow find a way to solve an impossible murder and capture a very real, very deadly murderer.
Salvation of a Saint is Keigo Higashino at his mind-bending best, pitting emotion against fact in a beautifully plotted crime novel filled with twists and reverses that will astonish and surprise even the most attentive and jaded of listeners.

Love Keigo Higashino's Mysteries

What made the experience of listening to Salvation of a Saint the most enjoyable?
David Pittu's well-differentiated voices for the characters made me feel like I was listening to multiple people. Almost startling half-way through to realize it's just one guy.Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
This is a puzzle plot reminiscent of the golden age fair-play mysteries of the 30's and 40's. Those who like speculating and poring over clues will find a great feast here. The why of it all ends up being a tad over-complicated (alas, this is common), but the how is very cleverly solved, and it is this point upon which the author hangs the bulk of the suspense.What about David Pittu’s performance did you like?
See above. The real tragedy is going to see what else he's narrated and finding nothing that interests me :(Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Nope...but you'll want to.Terrific Puzzle + Fantastic Narration

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Definitely a one-time listen. In retrospect, the story was good, but it felt like it dragged on too long. I found elements of the story re-told too often within the narrative. A condensed version of this book would likely move along at a better pace.What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
One comment that I must make: the words "I'm sorry" were overused in this story to a tiresome point. I recognize that the cultural framework suggests a very polite people, but it was an irritant to hear a phrase overused.Did the narration match the pace of the story?
The narrator did a good job; however, narration cannot rescue a weak story line.Any additional comments?
I've enjoyed so many excellent audio books from Audible. It's impossible not to compare this one rather unfavorably.Good story but unnecessarily redundant

Would you consider the audio edition of Salvation of a Saint to be better than the print version?
I haven't read the book, so I can't say. I can say that the narrator brought the story to life.Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Hmmm. Edge of my seat? Engaged would be a better word, and I was thoroughly engaged throughout.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Nope. Though I did spend hours at a time listening quite happily. It's a longish listen, so the idea of one sitting (or, more accurately, one puttering) is daunting. I do think I finished it in less than three days.Love Higashino's work
