I defy any fan of smart, unconventional crime writing to set this novel aside once they've started it. 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. CONFESSIONS will grab you from the first chapter and won't let go until its stunning conclusion. I don't think I've ever read anything quite like it. 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. It's a novel I'll think about for a very long time.'- Emily St. 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. 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. 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. 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.

As the characters in CONFESSIONS are stripped of their secrets, the novel reveals its audacious dark heart. True, much of it reads like a novel conceived and written by an eighth-grader, but then they are the central characters here and while not everything that goes through their minds - or that they put into practice - is plausible, at least it feels reasonably age-appropriate. 'Don't be fooled by the hypnotic beauty of Kanae Minato's prose. Confessions is at its best at the student-level.
