*Spoiler Alert*
The fact that the story moves quickly makes it interesting. I don't know why, but the reveal didn't strike me as much as I thought it would because somewhere, I had my doubts about the killer being Peter in the middle of the story; or maybe because Peter wasn't exactly portrayed as an innocent guy, so when he turned out to be the killer, it felt like "yeah makes sense". However, I still enjoyed reading the book because the characters felt nice, and the plot built up pretty quickly, which is why I found myself going back to the story again and again. I also loved the tensions created within the book by the threats, the news, and parts in the later half where, as a reader, you would feel like a random person in the same town experiencing the things happening around you, in a way making you feel included. 
So, overall, it was a definitely a fun read!
