Pre-Reading for Crime and Punishment

The back of the book says the book is a murder story narrated by the murder. My first thoughts are that the book is going to be similar to Edgar Allen Poe's " A Tell Tale Heart". In which case the narrator will be jumpy, eager and will act guilty and suspicious. I think Raskolnikov will end up ratting himself out in the end as well. However, no book ever turns out the way you think it will. I think the end will also have a shocking twist and it would have all been some weird trick just like in the book Bodega Dreams by Ernesto Quinonez. Since at the end no one knew the truth besides one person. Does anyone else share these feelings?
