I loved this book. It's full of plot twists and a massive one towards the end. I will recommend this to all my friends.
All the characters were always on the edge. I'm a bit sad that I will never read it for the first time again but the second time will be good.

I was really happy that

he was the one who killed himself because 1. It fits his character so well to be the one to kill himself and frame people out of spite of everybody and to "be creative" and 2. I liked all four of them and didn't want any of them to be murderers
