A solid mystery in my book. There was one minor plot point I wish got a couple more pages, but I understand why it was left as it is. Would have been cool to see if there was a connection in the end though.
While I was able to guess the twist, it was really satisfying and showed how well the author laid out the clues. There was something so nice about being able to guess a clever twist and finding out that I was right.

Graphic: Murder, Gun violence, and Kidnapping
