Out is a tense, brutal and suspense-filled thriller of a book.
There is a brutal murder in the suburbs. A young mother who works night shifts making bento sets snaps and strangles her abusive husband to death.
She seeks help from her coworkers to cover up the crime. Her coworkers close rank and does it. However, this only leads them into the terrifying underworld of the Japanese society.
A horrific physical and mental warfare full of violence, real and psychic is fought and the result is leaves one gasping at the end.
It's a psychological mindf**k and an exhilarating one too.
Recommended if you have a dark streak. 4 out of 5
