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

What I believe was intended to be a plot twist was clear to me early on and I continued reading and debating if it was intended to be that clear or a surprise. Based on the timing of the full reveal, I concluded it was intended as a twist. Then the dramatic ending was unrealistic and honestly rather silly. I gave a 2 because I did complete the book. But wouldn’t recommend unfortunately.
