I love this way of storytelling: revealing a mystery by using multiple perspectives.
It was a very dark and tense story with a good payoff. The characters were all very unique and though sometimes a bit over the top, not unbelievably so.
The only reason that I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 was because of the repetition. Just as it gets too much repetition imo (chapter 4), it stops and goes on with the character's own unique perspective.
