Lots of twists in this one! My second read from this author & I thought that would help me out with solving things on my own but I was definitely surprised by some of the twists.

Not at all what I was expecting from a Riley Sager book. The twist was definitely a disappointment for me.

I expected your standard mystery, this isn't it.

The first 3/4 of the book was fine, but the twist was out of left field and distracted from the remainder of the story. It created plot holes for

Casey and Boone's adventure. If Casey knew it was Len who murdered the girls, then why pin it on Boone? Of course, there are explanations for this, but none are rationale, like Len being a spirit lying in wake in the lake.
