So let's talk about that ending:
While this is such an interesting twist, Theo's actions earlier in the book don't make a lot of sense.
The reality is, Theo had tons of better reasons to want to get close to Alicia, to want to treat her and investigate her, to be interested in her background, but his focus on her silence doesn't make sense in the normal flow of the book, given what we learn at the end.
The ending points to him at peace with being caught, but then why work so hard to cover his tracks? Why tear things apart looking for the diary?
