New Keigo Higashino Novel "The Final Curtain" Arrives!

Just got the Keigo Higashino novel THE FINAL CURTAIN in the mail today! His latest novel (and the fourth in the Kyoichiro Kaga "Shinzanmono" series), this makes 12 of his books I’ve managed to acquire over the years!
My Keigo Higashino Collection
Out of them, the ones I’ve enjoyed most (probably not surprising since I was already quite familiar with the characters from its television series) are the Galileo books, (The Devotion of Suspect X, Salvation of a Saint, A Midsummer’s Equation and Silent Parade)…these are fun and quirky, as expected of its lead character Manabu Yukawa!
I also like “Under The Midnight Sun” quite a lot, a riveting tale of revenge being best served cold (made into series "Byakuyakou"), and I loved, loved loved  “The Miracles of Namiya General Store” (of which I’ve recently gushed about here!)
And now we have the fourth Kyoichiro Kaga novel. As you may recall, it was Higashino’s book “Malice” that first introduced me to Higashino’s novels, and that happened to be the first in the Kyoichiro Kaga series (with “Newcomer” and “A Death In Tokyo” following), so I’m particularly amped to get into this one!!!
This should be a good one, and one that hopefully will tide me over til we can get the next translated Detective Galileo book “Invisible Helix” late this December!
