I get your point, but I guess what I'm trying to say is that, at least to me, this book didn't feel like a mystery. It felt somewhat like a horror story, something like The Turn of The Screw. I'm not saying i thought there were ghosts involved, just that the tone was very horror-like, and that their situation was, to me, a manifestation of their collective internal guilt.
I think that's why the epilogue was such a betrayal to me.
But that is exactly my issue. I think that revealing the murderer was betraying the tone and feel she had established. To me this one felt a lot more like a horror book than her other books.

I agree. If there had been multiple killers instead of one I would have liked it more
