Wasn’t as jazzed as in the silent patient. Was pretty sure about halfway through that zoe had to be involved somehow/was the most promising suspect which was disappointed. Couldn’t be sure till the end but yea. the twist wasn’t as good as the silent patient although I was not expecting Sebastian’s involvement- I gave up on that suspicion pretty early once they confirmed they found the body. I guess I liked the inclusion of his passages though. I was very sure it was not him talking to us
Just didn’t wow me which I think these books rely on to be amazing
