Journal Entry 1 by bobbarama from Carlsbad, California USA on Saturday, October 31, 2009
Why is this book on my shelf? Because every time I browse the aisles at my local bookstore I wind up flipping through the pages of this book ... probably because it's 1) a widely-hailed, highly-touted 'you-know-who-dunnit' murder mystery, 2) steeped in modern Japanese culture, and 3) written by Japan's top crime fiction writer.

And, oh yeah, that deliciously deadly haunting face on the cover.

"Accidental murder accomplices-cum-investigators, a group of Japanese women rise above their status as timid, late-shift factory workers and abused spouses to take on a world of gang members, loan sharks, and sexual predators." ---- Publisher's synopsis.

Nightshift noir, anyone?
