Reviews
"Don't be fooled by the hypnotic beauty of Kanae Minato's prose. As the characters in CONFESSIONS are stripped of their secrets, the novel reveals its audacious dark heart. A pitch-perfect, riveting read."-- Hilary Davidson , Anthony Award-winning author of The Damage Done and Evil in All Its Disguises, "It's time to unretire all of those back-of-the-book words that lost their meaning over the years-unputdownable, riveting, searing. CONFESSIONS is some uncanny kind of tour de force, and everyone should read it."-- Charles Finch , Agatha Award-nominated author of The September Society and The Last Enchantments, "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 , Edgar Award-nominated author of The Wicked Girls, "Kanae Minato is a brilliant storyteller, and CONFESSIONS is a superb and haunting work. As Minato expertly shifts the perspective from one character to the next, each change in perspective lends a startling new dimension to a gripping and profoundly unsettling tale. It's a novel I'll think about for a very long time."-- Emily St. John Mandel , author of The Lola Quartet and Singer's Gun, "Brilliantly original and chilling."-- David Morrell , New York Times bestselling author of Murder as a Fine Art, I read this riveting tale of murder, revenge and madness in one sitting, and it took my breath away. I don't think I've ever read anything quite like it. CONFESSIONS will grab you from the first chapter and won't let go until its stunning conclusion. Pick up this book when you have a few hours to read, because you won't be able to put it down., "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 , CWA John Creasey Dagger Award-shortlisted author of A Thousand Cuts

Synopsis
In this international bestselling thriller, a former teacher delivers her final lesson to her students--including the two children that murdered her daughter. After calling off her engagement in the wake of a tragic revelation, Yuko Moriguchi had nothing to live for except her only child, four-year-old child, Manami. Now, following an accident on the grounds of the middle school where she teaches, Yuko has given up and tendered her resignation. But first she has one last lecture to deliver. She tells a story that upends everything her students ever thought they knew about two of their peers, and sets in motion a diabolical plot for revenge. Narrated in alternating voices, with twists you'll never see coming, Confessions probes the limits of punishment, despair, and tragic love, culminating in a harrowing confrontation between teacher and student that will place the occupants of an entire school in danger. You'll never look at a classroom the same way again., Her pupils murdered her daughter. Now she will have her revenge.
