The cult Japanese bestseller about a female gourmet cook and serial killer and the journalist intent on cracking her case, inspired by a true story. There are two things that I can simply not tolerate: feminists and margarine. Gourmet cook Manako Kajii is in Tokyo Detention Centre, convicted of serial murders, and refuses to speak with the press. Journalist Rika Machida writes to her for a recipe, leading to an engaging exchange that explores themes of misogyny, obsession, romance, and the transgressive pleasures of food in Japan.
