I have nothing but praise for Natsuo Kirino's first novel translated into English. Out delivered just about everything I want in a novel -- an engaging plot about how 4 female assembly line workers at a boxed lunch factory help one of them cover up a crime of passion, psychological insight in a bunch of fleshed-out characters (male and female), all wrapped around social commentary about the state of gender relations and modern life in Japan. I can see how you might not like this book if you are squeamish about corpses or put off by people filled with disdain and frustration, or simply looking for a murder mystery. But if you are okay with gore--physical and psychological--you'll enjoy this book which makes you think and react.
