The alternating POV Is keeping me engaged and in enjoying learning about both characters.

The bare bones of how skeletons function. Light and enjoyable read.

Mateo - introverted and regrets not socialising more with his peers when he had the chance. Anxious to leave his apartment on his End day as he fears it will lead to him dying quicker. Dad in ICU, mother dead during childbirth.

Rufus - outwardly tough. Mother and sister died when their car plunged into the Hudson. He has survivors guilt.

Emma is pretending to be Scottish (acting like Heather) while on the phone to the police.

Emma killed Miranda.
Emma was Miranda’s stalker.
Emma has a personality disorder where she adopts personalities of people she admires to an obsessive degree.

Heather is in the Old Lodge with Doug and Iain (who has been shot). They fear that Emma is coming to the Lodge because she may have seen Iain spot her killing Miranda.

— The POV is changing more rapidly as the tension ramps up. It’s getting more intense.

Iain and the boss of the lodge are selling coke out of the Old Lodge.
Heather stumbled upon the cocaine packages and when she did Iain appeared to be planning on killing her.

Miranda found out Katie and Julien were having an affair.
Katie wanted something that Miranda had as there’s some sort of inferiority complex between those two that originated in childhood.

Doug was a sniper in the Marines. During an operation a young boy bundled in a big jacket ran up to his team.
From where he was perched, Doug saw this and instinctively thought the boy had a bomb. But Doug couldn’t bring himself to shoot the boy. The boy did have a bomb and blew up the men in Doug’s team.
So now Doug carries the guilt of not shooting the boy and preventing the explosion.

Miranda has said or done something bad to pretty much everyone present. Her killer is male I assume because in her drunken haze she has seen someone coming towards her with an expression of threat she’s never seen before from the is person. I think this rules out Mark as the killer because everyone has seen him get aggressive. This leaves Giles, Julien and Nick. I’m discounting Bo as he’s too new to the group.

Doug was imprisoned for attempted strangulation on a stranger.

Katie has come terms with the idea that she feels like Miranda is a b*tch. In the past Miranda has been kind to her, but when Katie steps out of her shadow, Miranda will do something to take Katie down a peg.
Miranda has slept with someone other than her husband Julian — mark would be the obvious guess but Emma seems like a real possibility.
