Having been a huge fan of Alex Michaelides work, The Silent Patient, I couldn't wait for his next novel. The Maiden is a superb work of art. Crime, mystery and passion included.
The story revolves around two principal character, Edward Fosca, a charismatic Greek Tragedy professor at the Cambridge University who is well liked by all his colleagues and students alike , particularly by a secret society of female students known as The maidens and Mariana Andros, a brilliant group therapist who becomes interested in the secret society of The Maidens when her neice Zoe is found murdered on the campus. How their worlds collide in this dark and sinister plot is worth a read and is Edward Fosca an innocent bystander, thrown into limelight by his fans of The Maidens society or does he a play a darker role in the story is yet to be seen. The story is hailed as the best work of Alex Michaelides till date.
