Our first book of 2025 will be Butter by Asako Yuzuki

"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 sits in Tokyo Detention Centre convicted of the serial murders of lonely businessmen, who she is said to have seduced with her delicious home cooking. The case has captured the nation’s imagination but Kajii refuses to speak with the press, entertaining no visitors. That is, until journalist Rika Machida writes a letter asking for her recipe for beef stew and Kajii can’t resist writing back."

We meet in the upstairs room at The Waldorf in Manchester city centre (unfortunately there is no lift so the venue is wheelchair inaccessible) from 6 for those who want to eat beforehand and we will start the book discussion at 7.
