I agree that this is a whydunit, albeit a slow and sort of murky one. The premise was interesting, but it wrapped the mistery about 30 percent into the book, mostly. The details remaining came from an unreliable narrator, in a disorderly and at times claustrophobic setting. I pushed through to find out the resolution of it all, and i have to say, without spoilers, it kinda disappointed. Made sense, but i wanted a different ending I guess. So overall not a bad thriller, the premise being interesting, the pacing i found difficult to follow, the atmosphere was good, the ending i didn't love.

This book definitely held my attention, I read it all in one sitting. It isn't a whodunnit, but I wasn't disappointed with that. It was pretty predictable, but overall a fun and thrilling read. It was an interesting perspective to be in, and I enjoy books with unlikable characters and unreliable narrators. That said, I hated the ending. It would have been so much more enjoyable without the epilogue. Even if this is based on a true story, the way the ending was written just wasn't believable. If it was written differently the dots may have connected better, or without the epilogue it would have been open-ended but still satisfying. Either one would have been an improvement.
