i don't even know what to tell you, the writing was so poor and there were so many mistakes in the text. the mystery was ok, but then they reveal who it is in the most underwhelming way and just don't mention it ever again; and then 2 or 3 chapters away from the end they retell the information that made you realize who the killer was, but it's different ? and on the last chapter there's a sort of red herring for you to think it's someone else, but turns out it's actually who they first revealed it was.... and afterwards, just to make the matters worse, on the epilogue there's this sentence that is supposed to be a joke, but hints at the possibility that the person they caught isn't actually the killer, even though all clues point to it. with all this said, you can't really know if it really is that person, because there are just so many mistakes and stuff that gets changed throughout the book that you don't even know if these are "hints" that it's not that person, or just bad writing and editing.
i have to add though, even if it wasn't explicit, the subtle misogyny i felt while reading this... wow... all characters suck, yes, but not enough for me to justify the hate towards the women as something other than misogyny.
