Are there any hidden twists?

Just three. One: the new wife is the actual main antagonist, and two: the "eccentric" lady is actually a journalist investigating what really happened to the husband's first wife, and three: the sibling criminals are actually underlings of the new wife.

That's what I'm thinking:  an Alexandra Paul heel turn in the climax
