I don't read a lot of murder mysteries because honestly, and this will sound like a humble brag but I promise I don't mean it to be, I almost always guess who the killer is entirely too soon. This book kept me guessing until the final reveal, and honestly I never saw the actual scenario coming. It stumped me just as much as Murder on the Orient Express did, and it shared the same claustrophobic quality with that classic as well since most of the story took place within the walls of a single home. Highly recommend.
