The lead up was very very well done, however, I personally felt the ending was very cliche and boring. But the ending is my only issue with the book. I just feel the "I'm a killer because I'm a psychopath" is very boring reason, and it would have been a million times better if Vera had been a killer out of grief by her past mistakes

This was fine. I’m glad I finally read it because it was interesting( I was obviously spoiled for this because of movies and like retellings) but it is a really good twist. I didn’t love how it was revealed though. Also I can’t let it go how problematic the original was. Obviously I’m not going to say what the original title was but it’s disgusting. I would look into it. So with an original title like that some of the racist elements are still in here. As for classics this one was actually very easy to read.
