The Maidens, by British-Cypriot novelist and screen writer Alex Michaelides, is a murder mystery. We are introduced to Mariana, a therapist, who is facing personal challenges of her own including the recent loss of a loved one. As she struggles to keep her own life on course, she is also invested in the progress of a group of clients, including an obsessive man who does not understand or respect personal boundaries. As if this isn't enough, Mariana's life is complicated by a murder she is attempting to solve.
The opening chapters of The Maidens are an invitation to what promises to be a very thrilling ride as Mariana attempts to keep her own world afloat as she deals with the world around her. Alex Michaelides writes with a style that is concise and extremely readable. I look forward with great anticipation to reading The Maidens in its entirety.
