From the beginning I thought that Theo was going to be a killer but I expected a jealousy kill of Kathy, not what actually happened. The plot twist becomes kinda apparent about halfway-ish in so I just hoped that Alicia got to say her truth, whatever it might’ve been. 
I did LOVE the tie ins on the plot regarding the father infanticide, Gabriel’s decision and the greek tragedy. Reading those parts reminded me why I love to read.
