This is probably closer to 3.5 star rating than 4. While I enjoyed reading this book, read it in less than two days, and liked the mystery, there was something preventing me from giving it a solid 4 or 4.5 star rating.
It could be the fact that author loves his Greek heritage so much, he inserted it all over the story: the medical director of psychiatric facility is named Diomedes, the name of one of the main characters, physiotherapist treating Alicia is named Theo (that name screams Greek to me), the Greek myth of Alcestis is very central to the book and referred to numerous times, and finally, at one point, in her journal Alicia compares hot London summer day to a hot summer day in Athens (yes, Athens, of all of the cities in the world) This all would have been fine had the novel been actually set in Greece, but since it wasn't, it felt really odd, out of place, and forced. I did get over it quickly and it wasn't bothering me much, but this was something once I noticed, I couldn't help but seeing it again and again as I read the book.
I was also bothered by some of the things author said about criminal psychology. From reading his short bio at the end of the book, I see that he doesn't have any educational or professional experience in psychology or profiling. At some point he said "...it is impossible for someone who was not abused to become an abuser." I found this quote soo wrong and troubling. A very short study of criminal behavior will show that there are MANY murderers, rapists, molesters, etc who came from really normal happy families.
As for the mystery, I felt it was really good and kept me guessing to the end. I was sure I had it all figure out at least on 5 different occasions and every time I found myself being wrong.
