I liked this! A straightforward who done it. It was fun. I guessed some of the twist, but this book had twists to spare. 

The private-school friends were unbearable. Their bro behavior was appropriate for the characters, but I still didn't like them. There was a lot of casual sexual harassment and misogyny which isn't my favorite theme for a book. 

All together, this book kept me coming. I flew through the last 100 pages. 

to me, it seems unlikely that Will could be the cause of all the problems for all the main characters. but the mutual hatred for Will made for a fun killing scene.
