While I love this book and series, I still feel like the cast of characters is so cluttered! It had my thoughts spinning on who the killer could be - there were so many directions it could have gone and very few hints toward the actual killer. Feels like another writer scared of being "too obvious".

I loved reading this but I feel like it was so packed with characters and way too many hints pointing at the wrong people
I even suspected Garret for a while!
