It would have been so much better if... (spoilers)


...Libby ended up being the killer and Ben covered for her out of love.

I was hoping for this result as I watched it. It kept seeming like it was hinting at it with little subtleties.

Anybody else agree?

I just couldn't picture Libby running around with that shotgun. Let alone hitting anything with it.

Any other story would have been better

That would have been even more predictable. At the first pages of the book I thought-and hoped-the same, but the ending turned out just fine!

I thought that from the beginning, when the cop was questioning her. Then I thought her talk with Ben in prison confirmed that, as he was obviously protecting someone. I only doubted my theory after their second meeting, because the tone of the talk seemed off. In the end, I was glad that the solution wasn't so predictable.

Why would she have done it?

Sounds like you just want 'twists' that make no sense for the sake of it.
