I did NOT see that plot twist coming!! 
This book is like a puzzle and you have to put together the pieces that fit. You notice details that don't add up or sound strange, and then it all makes sense in the end. I really liked how the twists intertwind and the unreliable narration. 

I recommend if you enjoy marriage thrillers with a twist, or murder mysteries that take place on Halloween.
