Book Recs 3 | #004 Women and Crime

Here are 3 books picked by me, akapan, to pile up in your bookshelf to create an amazing tsundoku, or actually read them, of course.

"Women and Crimes"
They got involved too much
 

1. Butter
Asako Yuzuki, 2017
柚木麻子
Japan
[my comment]
Kajimana adores butter and hates feminism. From her prison cell, she has control over everything Rika does with her pale chubby arms. It questions Japan's expectations on women.

2. The Paying Guests

UK
595 pages
[my comment]
The woman who lives quietly with her mother falls in love with a beautiful young wife of the new tenant, their love led to a murder.
Who's in control?

3. The Talented Mr. Ripley 
Patricia Highsmith, 1955
US
252 pages
[my comment]
It focuses a lot on what's on Ripley's mind, how he's cold and nervous, contrary to the blue sky of Italy, but it's Merge who is involved and used to it a perfect crime.
