Exciting Thriller From Start to End
Simple plot summary: A four-year-old kid was found dead in a school where her mother, Yuko Moriguchi, teaches. Apparently, the cause of death is not by accident, it was two of Yuko's students that killed her.
It's my favorite Japanese book so far. Simple premise but every character is written excellently, which is very important in this kind of story.
The first chapter is the hardest part of this book, the writing style is quite unique for a first-person perspective so it's probably going to throw you off balance. Fortunately from the second chapter onwards the writing style becomes "normal" and straightforward. The vocab is mostly daily stuff so it's not that hard to follow as long as you got an N2 base.
