Review: Out by Natsuo Kirino (1997)

This book was a little more rough and twisted than the last two Japanese crime novels I'd read (The Devotion of Suspect X and Confessions). By that I mean that I felt the crimes were a little more gritty and had less finesse, and that the level of twistedness was a step further and more bold than those other two novels.

I thought the book was interesting, but I don't know that I would necessarily recommend it to someone who was new to Japanese mystery novels.

Spoilers.
