People Who Eat Darkness by Richard Lloyd Parry Book Summary

Lucie Blackman—tall, blond, twenty-one years old—stepped out into the vastness of Tokyo in the summer of 2000, and disappeared forever. The following winter, her dismembered remains were found buried in a seaside cave.

Richard Lloyd Parry, an award-winning foreign correspondent, covered Lucie's disappearance and followed the massive search for her, the long investigation, and the even longer trial. Over ten years, he earned the trust of her family and friends, won unique access to the Japanese detectives and Japan's convoluted legal system, and delved deep into the mind of the man accused of the crime, Joji Obara, described by the judge as "unprecedented and extremely evil."

The result is a book at once thrilling and revelatory, "In Cold Blood for our times" (Chris Cleave, author of Incendiary and Little Bee).

Great book. This is the best book I have read in a very long time. I felt the victims' families' pain, through this book. Although the author tends to ramble, at times, this is a very compelling literary work.

Provocative. Varied information from history and culture of police system to wartime inner action between Japan, China and Korea, and many other esoteric topics was fascinating to me. Clearly written as a tale of corruption and murder--but with a few incomplete and loose ends concerning related, interlaced tales.

Easy read, informative as well as captivating. While the book jumps around quite a bit, it holds your attention, provides interesting anecdotes of Japanese and British culture and keeps you on the roller coaster ride of an almost decade long journey for justice. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it!

People Who Eat Darkness. Captivating and very well written. Many questions come up while reading this book. Anyone with Lucie's upbringing and background should have realized that what she was doing as a " hostess" was wrong and would lead to trouble. She was preying on the insecurities of dysfunctional, obsessed individuals. Even if sex was not involved her actions were immoral. She was taking money under the pretense that she was attracted to these clients. I think that she knew it was wrong and that this awareness is what was causing her depression. It is unfortunate that her parents didn't manage some meaningful intervention before her death. Obara was ill and she preyed on his sickness they were both destroyed in the same game.

Great Book!!. This book was a beautifully written and very detailed account of a horrific and unusual crime. The author gives a fair and balanced account of a family's reaction to the disappearance of a loved one in a foreign country. It's a haunting story that I continued to ponder even after I finished the book.

Disappointed. Thankfully, I got this book on sale ($2.99). The facts upon which it is based are tragic. The author’s writing style and need to editorialize are tedious and tiresome and add nothing to the factual narrative.

People who eat darkness. I read many many true-crime novels. This was way too long and drawn out but still it drew me in. Of course the true case was way too long and drawn out, also. Back to Ann Rule.

Snooze Fest. A devastating story for sure but told in such an incongruous fashion that I couldn’t wait to finish the book in order to find something more interesting to read.

Could not put down. Extensively researched and documented account of a horrific crime, the book covers the subject from every possible angle. Thoroughly enjoyed and could not put down. Great read.
