The Maidens was just so unbelievable for me. I had seen mythology tied with The Maidens when people were talking about it, so I thought it was the perfect book for me. I see if other people have liked it or if it’s by an author that I like and I get it. I’ve essentially stopped reading the synopses of books. But Mariana is determined to stop this killer, even if it costs her everything-including her own life. When another body is found, Mariana’s obsession with proving Fosca’s guilt spirals out of control, threatening to destroy her credibility as well as her closest relationships. But why would the professor target one of his students? And why does he keep returning to the rites of Persephone, the maiden, and her journey to the underworld? And she becomes convinced that, despite his alibi, Edward Fosca is guilty of the murder.
Mariana, who was once herself a student at the university, quickly suspects that behind the idyllic beauty of the spires and turrets, and beneath the ancient traditions, lies something sinister. Mariana Andros is a brilliant but troubled group therapist who becomes fixated on The Maidens when one member, a friend of Mariana’s niece Zoe, is found murdered in Cambridge. A handsome and charismatic Greek Tragedy professor at Cambridge University, Fosca is adored by staff and students alike-particularly by the members of a secret society of female students known as The Maidens. When you’re excited about a book, there is nothing worse than being let down by every aspect of it. When I saw that Alex Michaelides was coming out with another book after The Silent Patient, I was PUMPED.
