The Maidens is Alex Michaelides highly anticipated second novel. This would have possibly been 5 stars for me, but I just didn't like Mariana, the main character.
I thought the mystery itself was interesting, as well as the clues left in various places, but there was something that just didn't sit right with the clues and where they were pointing me. I knew there was something else there, but just didn't know what it was.
The reveal was surprising, but not altogether a big shock. There were various clues to the reveal.
I didn't understand the need for Henry in the story. Perhaps that was to be a diversion.
I did enjoy learning about Greek mythology, as I don't really have much background in it. I also liked learning a little about Cambridge and the area.
I will look forward to reading the next book from this author, as this novel kept my interest. I loved the short chapters!
