Wow. Just wow. This book is amazing. Just one hint: There is no clear point at which the book tells you that you have all the information now and you should now make your deduction, the reveal of the murderer comes quite suddenly.
And, as is the case with all good detective stories, I can't believe I didn't find the murderer earlier, and how much I fell for all the misdirection :D
