The Maidens was definitely a twisty book! I think I ended up distrusting everyone, including Mariana maybe going crazy and having this all be in her head. And still I totally guessed wrong! It was fun trying to do the figuring out though. I find myself liking these mystery thrillers more and more and so I am glad I got the chance to read this one before it comes out.
I liked the addition of all the Greek lore and history in this book, along with the mysterious murders and everyone with ulterior motives. They are what carried the book more than Mariana I think. Mariana wasn't bad, but she was so unsure of anything going on that I did not care for her as much as I was meant to. It still ended up being an exciting book though.
I haven't read the first book that this author wrote, but after reading The Maidens, I will be checking out The Silent Patient from the library posthaste!
