Can I say I'm disappointed when I did not except a thing?

I liked the ending, however

I'm tired of reading thrillers that end up being about horny women bedding someone's husband.

The build-up wasn't great and the twists didn't work because there was barely any clues to begin with. Lack of information does not make a twist great. Poorly done.
