I actually called who the killer was an eon before the reveal. Some secrets were a surprise, but not that one. Although, something I hate in thrillers is the info dump epilogue and that’s exactly what this was.
Another thing that made this fall flat for me is that I disliked all the characters and didn’t feel any emotion/sympathy toward any of them.
That being said, excluding the epilogue info dump, this was tightly plotted with lots of elements that were still easy to follow. It’s a very classic thriller and would potentially be a good intro to the genre.
