When you start a book with a gory murder or big event you need to make sure you finish with the same kind of shock value / satisfaction for the reader. I felt like the whole book was a huge build up but the end still left me with so many questions.

The unnerving, claustrophobic feel was good but I was disappointed otherwise.
