Mariana hasn't had an easy time of it. Still dealing with the death of her husband and trying to maintain a handle on her therapy group clients, her life is upended once again when she receives word about a murder at her niece's university. Rushing to be of support, Mariana is certain that she knows who the murderer is and takes it upon herself to prove he's guilty.
Unfortunately, the investigation isn't as simple as finding a piece of evidence against Edward Fosca — especially when the murders continue. What do Professor Fosca and 'The Maidens' have to do with all of this? Are they the victims, or are they the perpetrators? Mariana wonders how she will be able to protect Zoe.
Some knowledge of Greek Mythology will make this book more enjoyable for some, but for others, it could be considered educational in a way. However, these educational bits can be quite wordy and mess with the pacing of the story itself. The same can be said about the psychological aspect of the book. Regardless, the twists blew me off my feet by the end (even the parts I'd managed to predict). This ultimately made the excessive paragraphs that had little to no bearing on the story worth it.
