[quote=Anonymous]Has no one here read the novel this is based on?? She was supposed to smell, at least toward the end of her time in Wind Gap when she was spiraling out of control.

In fact the novel is darker than the show with Camille going even more nuts at the end when she finds out the truth about Amma after finally allowing herself to open up and trust.

Oh and regarding the investigation. In the book it is detective Willis who saves Camille (not her editor) by solving the case and bringing the cops to arrest Adora just in time; later in the hospital he tells Camille all the evidence led to Adora. He had uncovered the munchausen and come up with a motive, plus Adora didn't have an alibi for either of the murders (and of course they found the bloody pliers at the house). The red herring was everyone assumed only an adult would be strong enough to pull teeth with pliers, when in fact kid teeth aren't as hard to pull as adult (or pig) teeth.

The fact that no one considered a 13 year-old as a suspect is easy to believe. It was a mental bias, same as the sherrif not suspecting Adora because he was friendly with her (plus in the book she's more of a do-gooder).

I thought the production absolutely nailed the story. There was one episode I thought was tedious but otherwise it was damn near flawless. Adora (and Alan too!!) was sinister AF. The final two episodes left me with the same creepy feeling as the novel did.[/quote]
