Really confusing multiple story lines that merge together at the end. Comes together really well and a great page turner but a big frustrating in the beginning trying to figure out how the stories connect. Well written and a fun read

The AUDACITY to make the big twist in your novel that the killer was the suspect you set up on page 12!!!! I kept telling myself that he was a red herring because the literal only development of his character was a mention that he existed but nope, turns out the guy who got one tiny mention for being creepy was not the killer even though we find out most of the way through that everyone thought he was guilty. OK. Just so many DUHHHHHH moments, don’t waste your time.
