The story takes several turns and I enjoyed trying to solve the mystery along with Freddie and while I canât say I was too shocked at the ending, there was just enough left that I hadnât pieced together to be surprising. I believe the email subplot is the darkest part of the story because itâs meant to be the ârealâ world. I particularly like that although we see Hannahâs work and we see Leoâs response, we never see her directly nor do we see her messages to Leo. I just found that intriguing.
If youâre like me on occasion and need to see whodunnit, spoilers ahead:
The ârealâ Leo has been acting as a research resource for Hannah while he shops around his own book. He starts sending her photos of crime scenes, then bodies, claiming to have found the crime scene later but actually he killed those people and his emails get increasingly creepy with suggestions on how to brutalize characters or punish Freddie for falling for Cain. He finally tries to get to Hannah and is apprehended by Australian police. His final letter to her comes when heâs in jail.
