Okay. So, this definitely messed me up. I already kind of knew what happened at the end from seeing small spoilers here and there, but I NEVER. Neveeerrrrr would of guessed that twist how it happened. My eyes were bulging out of their sockets when everything clicked into place. For my first thriller/mystery, I'd say I'm hooked on the genre. I loved the ending too. The way Alex doesn't say what happens to Theo or Kathy but you already pretty much know what happens. I know in the acknowledgements he mentions that Theo isn't done with him and I kind of
want to see Theo in the psych ward going to his own therapy sessions with Kathy as the narrator.
