'GROTESQUE IS NOT SO MUCH A CRIME NOVEL AS A BRILLIANT, SUBVERSIVE CHARACTER STUDY...IT IS A TRIUMPH. IN ITS BOLDNESS AND ORIGINALITY, IT BROADENS OUR SENSE OF WHAT MODERN JAPANESE FICTION CAN BE'

Daily Telegraph

Two prostitutes are murdered in Tokyo.

Twenty years previously both women were educated at the same elite school for young ladies, | and had seemingly promising futures ahead of them.

But in a world of dark desire and vicious ambition, for both women, prostitution meant power. Grotesque is a masterful and haunting thriller, a chilling exploration of women's secret lives in modern day Japan.

'Suicide, paedophilia, incest and murder combine ...to form a story that will leave you questioning your own morality'

- Dazed and Confused

'Delves so deep beyond its own shock horror premise that much contemporary crime fiction appears cheap and exploitative by comparison... an utterly absorbing novel'

- Metro

'This is only Kirino's second translated novel, but it already seems obvious that she may be the best crime writer to emerge from Japan in years'

- Independent on Sunday
