About this listen

Her pupils murdered her daughter. Now she will have her revenge.

After calling off her engagement in the wake of a tragic revelation, Yuko Moriguchi had nothing to live for except her only child, four-year-old child, Manami. Now, following an accident on the grounds of the middle school where she teaches, Yuko has given up and tendered her resignation.

But first she has one last lecture to deliver. She tells a story that upends everything her students ever thought they knew about two of their peers, and sets in motion a diabolical plot for revenge.

Narrated in alternating voices, with twists you'll never see coming, Confessions probes the limits of punishment, despair, and tragic love, culminating in a harrowing confrontation between teacher and student that will place the occupants of an entire school in danger. You'll never look at a classroom the same way again.

Decent but redundant

The story was unique and interesting and very well told, though I feel this would’ve been better as a short story or with less repeating of the same situation. It just seemed like it was lacking some content.

The first chapter will have you hooked!

Great story, very interesting and well developed characters. Love how each chapter is from a different perspective and gives you a look into each main characters mind. Couldn't stop listening to this once I started, highly recommend!

Couldn’t turn it off

It starts a bit slow, but the last bit of chapter one is enough to knock anyone off their chair (if you know you know)
with just 6 chapters, each from a characters different perspective, you get roped in quite easily into a twisted tale of revenge and arrogance.
10/10. Amazing.

Stays With You

It had plot points I hadn’t encountered before. I actually talked about the book with other people before I’d finished it. Definitely worth the read.

Sweet Revenge

The story started off a bit slow but once chapter 3 came I couldn’t put the book down.
Great story and I loved each killers perspective on the events leading up to, during, and after the main incident which took place.
The narrators did a great job as well
