I was really happy that

he was the one who killed himself because 1. It fits his character so well to be the one to kill himself and frame people out of spite of everybody and to "be creative" and 2. I liked all four of them and didn't want any of them to be murderers

shiroofficial's review against another edition

5.0

This book was very interesting and it made me want to keep reading it all the time… the story was amazing and thrilling and the situations felt very real, like it would be something we could expect in the world today and it would feel normal, but feel bad as well. It was a very interesting story to read and many secrets were unravelled in the story and it was awesome! The plot twists were really good and it kept me captivated the whole time i was reading. I absolutely love this book. However i find that the pace is a little slower than i’d have preferred, but it really doesn't bother me much so yeah. Awesome book definitely recommend love it! very thrilling would read again!
