I enjoyed the unreliability of the main narrators and other povs. Im getting a bit annoyed with flashbacks to clues that were withheld from the reader in the moment that they happen. I don't need everything spelled out but a dropped hint that we could later Clock as being a proper clue would make it a lot more fun as an experience. 

Plot reminded me a bit of quintana of charyn by melina marchetta, in a good way.
