Confessions by Kanae MinatoMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A fabulous thriller. I came across this book on Goodreads when I read someone's review. I had read Keigo Higashino's "Devotion of Suspect X". From then on I was hooked to Japanese thrillers which are so underrated as compared to English and American ones.
This is about two students who kill their teacher's daughter and how the teacher exacts revenge on her pupils. With lots of twists in the book, the narrative turns addictive and unpredictable. All the characters are dark and evil. What sets the book different is the plot which is written in the first person account with very few dialogues, in the form of a teacher's lecture or somebody's diary extract.
Thriller fans, enjoy this middle school drama !
