This was a fast read at the start, however I was onto the

dissociative identity disorder

plot line fairly quickly so that was a bit of a let down in that it felt really set up and breadcrumbed really heavily.

Will being the murderer of everyone 

was surprising though. I think the Mouse storyline was also better crafted and less obvious. A few good red herrings otherwise and generally a good pace and interesting story. Would have love a more creative concept though

Wow. Okay so I loved the feeling of calling a "big twist" early on and then there being another twist I didn't see coming and so it makes me think, was the first twist even a twist? Was I not just super smart? I'm starting to have doubts... lol
