I'm a sucker for disaster books with thriller vibes. This story is exactly that.

This compelling thriller revisits the scene of a friend's murder two decades later, bringing together former college housemates. Secrets will not stay buried, the truth will come out, and the real killer will be revealed. To me, they all looked guilty. But will the real killer strike again?

Strange Pictures by Uketsu Strange Pictures immediately grabbed my attention because it started with a projective personality test that I learned about in a workshop given by a forensic psychologist. I was hooked by the House-Person-Tree image and gave this unknown (to me) author a shot. The stories in this book appear separate, but they're all connected, and each includes a drawing that help you solve the puzzle. Even though I didn't always see eye to eye with the character’s reasoning, I found this book to be clever, unique, intriguing and different than any of the books I’ve recently read. Also, this author has the weirdest bio photo I’ve ever seen.
“Uketsu's strange riddles are chilling and addictive – I couldn't put it down.” —R. F. Kuang, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Babel and Yellowface
“Delightfully macabre and fiendishly clever. Seemingly unconnected stories tie themselves into a complicated knot, which Uketsu masterfully unravels.”—G. T. Karber, author of the national bestseller Murdle
“Wonderfully complex and carefully crafted . . . Uketsu keeps readers guessing until the very end.” —New York Times Book Review
