An interesting thriller which can be viewed at different levels. Emilia Fox is superb as young girl with personality switches, and "blackouts."
I haven't, nor will, read the book this based on so I'm coming to my own conclusions.
The main protagonist's "blackouts" may very well be dissociations common to people with Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly called multiple personality). When we see her go into the house the first time there are no police, no warning strips, but when she is in the house she comes across a forensic examination of a dead body and she freaks and when she runs out there are cops galore. These are 2 different events. The first time she kills the woman.
Fast forward to the scene where she sees her lover "kill" his wife, and insists on making it look the other killer's work. How on earth would she know how to duplicate a murder unless she has committed the previous ones?
Her killer personality is seen often. Hard headed, callous, unemotional, a sociopath. The girl who enters the house in the beginning has all those traits, she laughed at a woman grieving her cat's death.
Why confess? DID's have alter egos who have consciences. She outed herself.
