Super interesting format but I found ending a bit disappointing.
I suppose the book never really focuses on the clues or on having a foolproof way for the reader to be able to figure out who the killer(s) is (are), but Julia's trick of changing all of the endings almost undid all the fun, in the end. It's almost like none of it really matters, a new ending could be written just like that. But for me, being able to solve the crime is an important part of a murder mystery, and I feel like the ending took that away from me.
