Let's see how this wraps up. If it's obvious a twist is coming, does it still count as a twist?

For a mystery, just not enough suspects to really work. Even though the narrator has mentioned 47 times that it could only be a like 4 people, somehow she can't figure out who those people are.

Narrator is almost caught up. Almost. How painfully slow this book is actually works in its favor to ratchet up the suspense. Moving on to the next thing? Nope, not yet. Going to re-explain everything you just read and understood? Yep, maybe three more times.

Why does the narrator keep whispering?

There is no way the protagonist of this book has a PhD. She is always about a chapter behind, but luckily the book explains everything to death so she can catch up. I'll stick around for the twist that seemed obvious from the beginning, but we shall see.
