High school mystery, plot twist, revisiting old trauma

Pretty good story, didn't see this twist coming the way I did with Thomas's other book That Weekend

 After five cheerleaders die in mysterious circumstances, the cases are closed until five years later when Monica, one of the dead girls' sisters, decides to investigate. This is apparently based on something that happened in Dryden, NY in the 1990s.
I don't read that many thrillers but I really like the ones where I can't see what's going to happen or there's a big twist. Unfortunately, this was a story where I could foresee the ending (and I don't know anything about the events it's based on). It's an okay read, but nothing great with a lot of teenage angst.

This was a really fun twisty murder mystery. It does deal with very heavy topics, so please read trigger warnings. However, I found this book very compelling and page turning. I kept coming back to listen!  However, the ending was a little lackluster for my taste. It kinda felt like they picked a killer out of nowhere and didn’t really have any lead up to make you think it was this person at all. Not in a good “I couldn’t have guessed it, unexpected” way, but in a why would it be that person, it doesn’t really make sense” kind of way. I mean I get it, but it seemed like a little bit of a reach. But the final reveal, oof, loved that. I expected it but still loved it. Some other parts were a little predictable, but nonetheless, I enjoyed it.
