A review by lcwaskom
Confessions by Kanae Minato
4.0
This was a really interesting book, and I enjoyed it a lot. Seeing the event from all the different perspectives really developed, fleshed out, and added complexity to all the characters. I felt myself sympathizing with all the characters even if they’re actions were wrong. Most of the characters were not good people and the definition of morally gray. This book hooked me from the first page.
However, the book felt repetitive at parts. We are seeing the same event from all the different perspectives, so, even though we were understanding the characters more, the book doesn’t add a lot of new elements throughout the story to keep the suspense going. The reveal of the killer happened very early in the story, so it felt very easy to put down. I wanted to know about the killer’s thoughts, but I really love when the reveal is built up to.
