It’s Yuko Moriguchi’s last day as a middle school teacher. She decides to resign after her four-year-old daughter dies on the school grounds. The death is ruled out as accident but during her last lecture, she reveals to her students that her daughter is murdered and the perpetrators are sitting inside the room.
This is going to be short because I am not really sure how to review this one. The beginning immediately drew me into the story and I could tell that I was in for a treat after reading the first chapter. I loved that the story is told in multiple perspectives and I thought it was very clever. Not knowing from whose perspective we will be getting next has added more excitement as well. Reading the same incident over and over again can be tiring at times but that’s not the case in this book. It just got me more intrigued. We learn about each of the characters’ experiences and roles in the incident. We get some answers and revelations until we reach a very satisfying conclusion. This is definitely one of the best and unique revenge stories I’ve ever read. It is dark, disturbing, and utterly brilliant!
