It gets pretty graphic and starts VERY slow, but as it kept going I found myself reading faster to reach the end. Check the content warnings because it’s a lot at times.

Debating between 1 or 2 stars. I wanted to like this book so much when I got it at a local bookstore and it had a black lizard vintage crime collection cover but I was oh so very wrong. 
In my opinion poorly written and extremely slow paced for a “thriller”. Which would be okay if the fillers didn’t have so much blatant misogyny and humanizing rapists…? (with no explanation and nothing added to the plot) 
The only thing I got out of this was learning how strong my persistence can be for finishing a book I hate.

Also, the ending is so awful I’m not going to elaborate on it. 
I have many questions for Natsuo Kirino.

Though slow-paced, the payoff was worth the wait. A damn good thriller in my opinion! Far better than most American thrillers I’ve read, at any rate.
