I thought there would be a more shocking twist maybe the killer was someone less obvious however it turned out to be the most disturbing characters who we are aware of right from the beginning

OH! This book had my attention jumping back and forth as I tried to figure out who and what was happening. 

Great read. Medium paced turns into a VERY fast paced as the knowledge of the reader escalates.

A rare moment when the screen adaptation is leaps better than the original text. Still a brilliant story. Something that'll keep you up at night, but worse, one that'll haunt you, closing your throat whenever you'd want to bring it up with vulnerability.
