As we witness Teresa Wyatt’s murder, we also learn that she seemed to expect that it would someday come but was surprised at the identity of the killer. What did you learn from that scene and what questions did it raise? Did it effectively set the tone for the mystery?

The prologue was great, it really set the scene and laid down the foundations for the mystery that was to be revealed. I thought initially it may have been some cult or occult thing. Then, launching to present day and the murder of Teresa who it seemed was one of the five involved in the earlier killing. And someone was out for retribution... Great set up for what followed.

It definitely set the tone of the story. A good mystery is brewing and the murder is going to be someone that the victims don't suspect.

That prologue was chilling and hooked me immediately. I knew to expect a killer who would be picking off members of a group and I’d need to figure out what they’d done. I also knew the group had done something awful because Teresa thought she deserved to die.

Agree with the previous comments, the intriguing prologue had me hooked right off the bat.

It did me too! And I was curious about the villain - her sense of "resolve" told me there was a backstory to be told here. Great foreshadowing.

I liked the way that it set up this killer who is not interested in whether or not the victim has "opened his/her mouth" about what has already happened. It raises the question of why wait until now to start the killing. Obviously Teresa has known this was coming so why now? Even though the answer comes pretty quickly, we don't know it when Teresa is murdered.
