Everything seems fine in a London bustling college in the 21st century. That is, until word spreads fast that Tara has been murdered. Mariana is a therapist proving her point that the beloved professor murdered three women, Tara included, without the blink of an eye. But a secret society of women, “the Maidens” and all else are against Mariana. So, who really stabbed the three women? Alex Michaelides writes a thrilling follow up to the 2019 bestselling Silent Patient.

Readers will not be disappointed with the did he or didn’t he thriller that unfolds in The Maidens. Mariana is a highly believable, well written character. The backup characters, although numerous, gain importance throughout. Too many details and not enough mystery solving make this read a slow one until around the halfway mark. However, the end is unbelievable with a resolution that you won’t be guessing.

Both narrators tones matched the mood of Michaelides’ novel. The female voice’s British accent matches the setting and allows the listener to better understand the setting. The male’s voice has depth and emotion that filled the novel’s purpose. Readers will want to listen to this thriller when it is released June 15. Be ready to crack the case of The Maidens.
