I'm writing a story, should I use a period in the following bold sentence (and does the bold sentence contain any mistakes?):

I thought catching a criminal would be easy. Oh how wrong I was to believe it would be easy.


Or should I use a question mark because of the how?

Hi,

I'm writing a story, should I use a period in the following bold sentence (and does the bold sentence contain any mistakes?):

I thought catching a criminal would be easy. Oh how wrong I was to believe it would be easy.


Or should I use a question mark because of the how?

I thought catching a criminal would be easy. Oh how wrong I was to believe it would be easy?

 

It's an exclamation, not a question.

Oh,  how wrong I was to believe it would be easy!
