The perfect ending. I predicted who was going to be the suspect, but it was conveyed really well.

adventurous challenging dark emotional hopeful mysterious tense medium-paced

3.5

First of all, I did not see the reveal coming. It was one of the most original plot twists I've read in a murder mystery so far.

However, the story went a bit too slow for me to rate it any higher than I have. It was very good, but it took me about half the book to really get pulled into the mystery. Still very much a recommendation.
