A review by michaelnlibrarian
Villain by Shūichi Yoshida

2.0

For some reason I thought this was a police procedural, but the police are not characters in it at all, at least not for the first two thirds. The focus is on the victim, her friends, and the possible characters who might have murdered her - eventually I realized I was more interested in reading almost any other book that was around the house so back to the library with this one.

It does provide an interesting view of Japanese everyday life among the not so successful. For what that's worth.
