The story revolves around Mariana, a psychotherapist who lost her husband. When her niece, Zoe, gives her a call from university about the death of her close friend, Mariana becomes immersed in an unseemingly sinister academic world as other students face the same tragic fate.
Determined to solve the mystery behind murders, Mariana is challenged by her own psyche as she attempts to infiltrate the mind of the man she believes murdered the students and bring justice to the young women.
I devoured this book. The academic setting and the mythology were perfectly paired in the creation of this dark novel. Michaelides' dive into the minds of the characters are chilling and thought-provoking as the reader ponders the nature of familial relationships and the manipulation and abuse of power by men in high positions. A fantastic read.
