Kusanagi stood in the doorway of the physics lab. "I've done no work and I'm all out of ideas."
Yukawa nodded and thought for a moment. Then he furrowed his brow. It was a face that showed he had some unspecified emotional depth.

A Melancholic Murder Mystery
As others have said, this is an entertaining and approachable, upper-intermediate level novel. It didn't leave me pondering philosophically but it does place its characters into some rough moral quandaries. It's popular for a reason and a solid read, but the ending left me a little melancholic.

This book is part of a series but can easily be read as a stand alone. There's also a movie based on this book (it's awful - don't recommend) in addition to a TV series based on the general book series (it's...mediocre).

It was one of the first books I read in Japanese and while it hammered me with new vocabulary at the time, the grammar wasn't too tricky and I found it easy to follow along with.
