I had seen the ending coming a long way away. It's hard to write something like this and throw something at the audience that they really won't expect. You did a great job with this--I couldn't stop reading, much like with your other works. But I wish the fight with Shafan and Ethan had been a little bit more drawn out. It would've built suspense as well as staved off the whodunit climax to keep everyone thinking just a little longer on the identity of the killer. Overall, I think you did a good job with this one.

That was amazing...the pacing was excellent, and you did a good job throwing me off the scent of who the real killer was (very Murder of Roger Akroyd of you!) Ethan was especially compelling, I think, as the grieving brother out to avenge his sister's death. Beautifully written!
