Very twisty and a bit dark, which is understandable being a murder/serial killer thriller, but super intriguing and not overly predictable. It was well thought out and I liked that I didn’t have it all figured out. I have such a hard time liking thrillers just because they seem either ridiculous or easy to see the end. This one, while I wouldn’t say it was surprising at the end, was still not something you knew for sure a mile away. You had your options for how it could go but it still made you question which direction or the details of it. Well done.
