Sharp Objects Unveils the Identity of Wind Gap's Vicious Killer — With a Twist

Warning: Spoilers for the season finale of Sharp Objects lay ahead!

We've made it through the season finale of Sharp Objects, and we're probably going to be processing for a solid month. As we've drunkenly swerved down this twisted, winding road with our haunted heroine, Camille, we've encountered some pretty dark sh*t, plus an intense sex scene or two. But hey, at least we have that gritty, electrifying soundtrack to help us floating along. All through this sweaty journey, our perceptions have certainly shifted, but the one big question has always remained the same: who is the killer in Wind Gap?

With the disturbing finale in our rear view, we now know that Amma was the killer all along, just like she is in the book. The big difference, though, is that we don't get a lot of clarification pertaining to motive or modus operandi. What we know for sure is that Amma killed the girls and used their teeth to finish the floors in her doll house. Thanks to the brief postcredits scene, we also know that Amma enlisted the help of her friends to pull off the murders, just like the book. That's really all the explanation we get, but given the fact that we watch everything unfold so slowly and magnificently over the course of the eight episodes, maybe that's all we need.
