It's not really the fanbase's fault, it's legitimately the writer's. This is the equivalent of someone writing a Star Wars book that says that the Jedis invented the Force by genetically engineering the midichlorians. It's a betrayal of the thematic principles the franchise is built on.

Much better?
I don't think so, hints are many and pretty clear in both of them. Simply Umineko is more dispersive. Mh, The three coffins is pretty different, I think Third Girl is more similar at Umineko than it.

I haven't read Three Coffins or Third Girl, but the motivation in Umineko did make sense...didn't it? Alright, it wasn't the most sense-making thing in the world, but I guess without love it cannot be seen.

I finished The Devotion of Suspect X a few weeks ago and I highly recommend it.
There's an English translated version available for sale anywhere, and even in eBook format, so you don't have to learn Japanese. 8) Higashino is known for writing stories about people who fall into desperate situations and their thoughts and feelings as they hide their crime. This book is no different. (Shinzanmono, the TV series, novels or the movie coming out in Japan this month also follows these themes.) They also made a movie from this book; I have yet to watch that. |

Spoiler for Might be spoiling The Three Coffins:
I don't think The Three Coffins is the best example of Carr's work. Of course, I recommend reading it, as it is a pretty good book, but I don't think it was a fair mystery.
