I really loved the silent patient and had great expectations with the maidens, which I think are being totally fulfilled! I'm eager to know the truth behind everything in this book... Wanna read it full now!! Fosco do seems suspicious and I wanna know exactly why... What's with Mariana and this maidens group... Soooooooo intriguing and interesting!!!! I can't wait to see the plot going ahead and to know the truth behind everything... The writing style is very rich with thoughts and easy to understand and easy to go with...a very convincing style of writing!! I loved his writing style ever since I read the silent patient... The way things go gradually and mysteriously about the frequent murders do let the reader with question marks from the beginning itself and as the reader tries to drown in the story... The curiosity is unbearable!
