People Who Eat Darkness: The True Story of a Young Woman Who Vanished from the Streets of Tokyo--And the Evil That Swallowed Her Up by Richard Lloyd Parry

5.0

I always see this on lists of best true crime, but I was waiting for the right moment to read it. Today on my flight from São Paulo to San Francisco, 13 hours, it was the right monent. I listened to the audio on 1.5x and it fit just right with the layovers and naps.

This story is crazier than Girl With a Dragon Tattoo, plus there are red herrings at every turn, but the catch is that it all REALLY HAPPENED. One of the craziest true cases I have ever heard, by far.

Also, learning a bit about the Japanese judicial system was interesting. It is very different than in the US or England.
