Praise for CONFESSIONS **
A brilliant storyteller -- Emily St John Mandel, author of Station Eleven
Think of CONFESSIONS as the Gone Girl of Japan....[A] gut-wrenching thrill ride...its thrust should hit home for any reader with a pulse. * Los Angeles Times *
A dark, dystopic portrait of Japanese adolescence gone wrong. If Albert Camus had written Heathers, it would have looked a lot like this. -- Alex Marwood, author of The Darkest Secret
Explosive... A dark thriller about love, despair and murder * Irish Tatler *
A creepy and mesmerizing psychological thriller that challenges the conventions of right vs. wrong, good vs. evil, and law vs. justice. * Library Journal *
A spellbinding read, a fascinating peek into modern Japanese society, and a glimpse into the dark corners of the human psyche * Booklist *
Taut, unsettling and relentlessly engaging, CONFESSIONS is a book with claws, in more sense than one. I defy any fan of smart, unconventional crime writing to set this novel aside once they've started it. -- Simon Lelic, author of The Child Who
