The story was so interesting from the beginning. The appearance of the bayview four made it all better but the main three were enough! Although I predicted who started it all, the last chapter was a complete shock to me (still thought it made no sense). I still think One Of Us Is Lying was better... The plot was more shocking and the characters (the ogs) were my favourite!
