Loved it all up until the end. A true ecological thriller and quite suspenseful. Spoilers ahead. 

Man endings like this never sit well with me. If I could’ve had some closure, review would’ve been higher.

Great writing and story telling. Difficult to root for anyone in Thorndike but you want to root for them all.  

Also, appears that Lemoine did kill his wife after all, eh?
