1. Why did he tell Diomedes and Stephanie that it was a murder and not a suicide? The case would have been closed, and nobody would have doubted him. Why did he lay a trap for himself?
  2. Why did Theo inject Alicia if he wasn’t responsible for Gabriel’s murder? He wouldn’t face arrest for a crime he didn’t commit.
  3. Why did he not just kill Alicia but chose to send her into a coma?
  4. If Theo had not injected Alicia, he would not have been arrested, right? As he did not kill anyone, is it true that he did all of that just to get arrested? Because he was feeling guilty for what he had done to her?
  5. Why did Alicia lie about who murdered Gabriel when she was narrating the story to Theo? I assume she already knew that the stalker man was Theo, that’s why she tried to hurt him during the initial therapy session.
  6. Also I don’t get why she remained silent for so many years. I know she related herself to the play characters but then why did she choose to speak after so many years? What was the reason behind her deciding to speak?

Halfway through I could not figure out that there were multiple timelines to the story—the cheating wife part and where Alicia was in therapy. But it’s okay, I’ll leave that for now as I cannot even figure out what doubt exactly I want to ask lol, tbh it’s too much.

Also a few things were left hanging, like when Jean-Felix said to Alicia ‘Do not trust people easily.’ and the house-property papers Theo talked about with Max. Why was Tanya afraid of Max? Why did she mention Paul?

    Am I remembering this book wrong? I read it two years ago during a vacation in one day and loved it. I’ve got no idea what it’s about now but do remember that I enjoyed it.

      Me too! It had flaws and plot holes but they were ones I could ignore. Like obv no one writes “someone’s at the door” in their diary, but I’m fine with that. The story was quite intriguing and kept me hooked
