Amazon.com: The Maidens: A Novel eBook : Michaelides, Alex: Books

I found this book to be a slow starter but, once it got underway, it had me hooked to the point where I was disappointed to turn the last page. The characters are strong and well written, the setting is atmospheric and reflects the plotline wonderfully. Slow burn is a plus in this book, and the pace it builds up is wonderful. So many times I thought I'd figured it out, only to have a plot twist appear and leave me wondering.There are characters in the book that will make you go "Oh", if you've read The Silent Patient, but it is in no way required reading to enjoy this one. A second great offering from this Author, and it makes me want to buy his next book. Enjoy!!

This is my third book of this author that I read. And just when you know you have figured out this writing style you don’t. I did not have any idea who did it until the very end of the book. I could’ve done without so much Greek mythology but overall it was a good book, I would recommend it.

I really like Michaelides' books - very suspenseful and keep you guessing to the end. I knocked off a star because I found it a bit of a stretch that the main character was so naive regarding the people she loved most. I won't say any more to keep from spoiling the book for others.
