A cold-hearted husband is served up poison, but the prime suspect--his wife--is several hundred miles away when it happens, confounding the Tokyo police in Keigo Higashino's Salvation of a Saint.
This is Higashino's second "Detective Galileo" novel (after The Devotion of Suspect X) and follows a similar formula where the killer is actually revealed at the outset, and the main action is watching the police trying to figure out how exactly it was done (with the help of an eccentric professor). This entry especially has kind of that old-fashioned "locked room" puzzle feel.
Interesting characters and situations add value, as does a really good audiobook read by David Pittu.
I checked this out from the New Castle-Henry County Public Library in New Castle, Indiana.
