I was suspicious of both Johnny and Matt at first, but then it seemed Matt was missing more of the time than Johnny. And Matt didn't seem to have as much purpose as the other three. So I dismissed Johnny as a suspect pretty early on went with Matt when the killer was in the alley pretending to be hurt.Anna Maria 86 wrote: ↑04 Feb 2019, 07:55 This topic might result to be a spoiler, but I'm really curious about others' bets on that. I'm usually pretty good at predicting events, endings or guessing characters. I found Matt really suspicious from the very beginning. But then, when Johnny asked Hardcastle during the Christmas party if he thinks the killer is British, I was torn between the two: Matt and Johnny. Who did you think was the killer?

That gut feeling is good for me sometimes, but I really don't like predictable stories. I enjoy stories with carefully written twists and turns.Anna Maria 86 wrote: ↑05 Feb 2019, 00:42Oh, yeah, I know that feeling. You know someone is guilty, or going to die, or betray, but you still hope you're wrong until the last moment. But your gut's never wrong

I had a similar thought during that scene, particularly with the way the first scene was framed, but funnily enough, I was suspicious much earlier when he made an offhand comment about Jacko. I didn't make a note about it, but it raised my hackles because it was sort of a racist dogwhistle when everyone else in the novel was pretty much okay with him, when sober at least.OskaWrites wrote: ↑19 Mar 2019, 11:06 I was surprised by Matt being the murderer, but I have to admit when he approached Fanny it had the same tension as the poor girl who was assaulted. I was suspicious, but I started thinking maybe it wasn't him as the story went on.
I really wanted a twist, though. Like, something to make the guy seem like just your run of the mill soldier than a serial rapist and murder. It was a good setup for the Australian portion of the book though.
