The Maidens, by Alex Michaelides, was an enjoyable novel that I had the opportunity to listen to an audiobook version of. The reader's voice and accent were a joy to listen to and the story moved at a fast pace. I hated to turn it off.
While I would rate the reading a 5, I am rating the book a solid 4 stars. While it was a good read, it didn't leave me wowed. If you liked his earlier book, The Silent Patient, you will enjoy this one!

Thanks to Netgalley and Macmillan for an advanced copy of the audiobook.

This book was just ok for me. I had figured out "who done it" pretty early on, just not why. It was a good read,I just wasn't blown away

This was so good! I loved the 2 different readers that brought this story to life. I was addicted to the story and had to know what was going on. Just like The Silent Patient the author has a talent of keeping you invested and guessing who is the bad person. Looking for a good thriller? Look no further. Check out this one.

Mariana is a therapist specializing in group work — but tbh she’s kind of a wreck herself. It’s been 14 months since her husband’s sudden death, but she’s forced to put her work and sorrow aside for her niece, Zoe. A student at Cambridge — also Mariana’s alma mater — Zoe’s best friend is murdered, and she’s convinced she knows who did it. Greek mythology professor Edward Fosca has a group of female students who are kinda obsessed with him. The rich, beautiful co-eds are called The Maidens and Mariana is convinced they are up to something.

What 👏🏼 a 👏🏼 ride 👏🏼!! I loved so much about this book — the creepy campus setting, the tie ins from mythology, and especially the cameo a character from the author’s previous book, The Silent Patient. If you loved The Silent Patient, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed! Maidens had a lot of characters, but that might be my only complaint.
