I worked out the twist early, but I usually do. Still when everything was revealed it was concluded well enough to leave me satisfied. 

I found most of the characters deeply unpleasant, though of course thats intentional. But it made the ending resulution feel kind of strange. Maybe thats intentional too.

And the prose is very good. Which makes up for a lot.
