I preordered this book and received it today, though I can see that it's only supposed to be out in a few more days, and now I'm terrified I did something bad. (it looks so good and the story sounds so alluring, help)

So far I'm very confuse as to why is this a mystery. I understand why the characters, given the period and knowledge, would not go to a certain conclusion and investigate, but the reader has that knowledge and unless there's a HUGE plotwist coming, so far I'm just annoyed.
