I read a lot of books, mostly criminal mysteries. I have a bachelors degree in psychology. I’ve always loved to try to get into the mind of the killer, to understand from a psychological stand point why they do the things they do.

There are many different types of killers. One type that always interests me is the sociopathic serial killer who continuously kills the same person over and over again. Let me explain- a boy was sexually/physically/verbally abused by his mother as a child. His mother eventually dies. When this boy grows up he begins to kill women who remind him of his mother. Every time he rapes and kills a woman, in his mind he is killing his mother over and over again.

It’s been said that A’s motive lies in a tragic love story.

The finale is called Til Death Do Us Part.

Ezra is A.



He has severe mental illness.



He is a sociopath.



He was in love with a girl.



She went missing.



He searched for her.



He couldn’t find her.



She was dead.



He never got over it, it consumed him.







Ezra now seeks his dead lover out in other women who in some way remind him of her.



He falls in love with a new woman, but in his head it’s his dead lover.



He orchestrates a plan to make her go missing.



So that he can search for her and find her.



So that he can finally get what he always wanted- he can find his lover.



This time he would find her.



This time she wouldn’t be dead.







Ezra has done this multiple times.



He meets Alison and falls in love with her. He sends her A texts to scare her into running away. He dedicates his entire existence in trying to find her; including stalking her best friends He writes a book about it.





He gets side tracked when he believes Alison may be dead.





He meets Aria and falls in love with her. He builds the dollhouse and locks her up inside. He helps the cops find the dollhouse. He finds and saves her.







Things don’t work out.

He meets Nicole and falls in love with her. He orchestrates a plan to get her captured overseas. He relentlessly searches for her He finds her and does everything he can to help her, including blowing Aria off and not telling her he is engaged to someone else. He writes a book about it.



He continuously lives out this sequence of events.

He has an overwhelming need to finally find the woman he loved, the woman who he searched for but couldn’t find, the woman who died.

Til Death Do They Part



This was a subtle clue that Ezra is A, black hoodie, and his helper has been Red Coat. Together they are AD.
