I liked this book quite a bit, but the ending felt a little lackluster to me.
I'm a firm believer that in order to write a well crafted twist, some people are going to be able to guess it. And that's okay! Most people shouldn't, if you placed the clues subtle enough, but someone will. And the rest of us when the twist happens should be like "oh! it all makes sense now! I should have known" But the twist of who the killer was for this book had no clues. There was no "aha" moment.
