Good but ending pissed me off a little
Edward Fosca is a murderer. Of this Mariana is certain. But Fosca is untouchable. A handsome and charismatic Greek tragedy professor at Cambridge University, Fosca is adored by staff and students alike - particularly by the members of a secret society of female students known as the Maidens. Mariana Andros is a brilliant by troubled group therapist who becomes fixated on the Maidens when one member, a friend of Mariana's niece, Zoe, is found murdered in Cambridge. Mariana, who was once herself a student at the university, quickly suspects that behind the idyllic beauty of the spires and turrets, a nd beneath the ancient traditions, lies something sinister. And she becomes convinced that, despite his alibi, Edward Fosca is guilty of the murder. But why would the professor target one of his students? And why does he keep returning to the rites of Persephone, the maiden, and her journey to the underworld? When another body is found, Mariana's obsession with proving Fosca's guilty spirals out of control, threatening to destroy her credibility as well as her closest relationships. But Mariana is determined to stop this killer, even if it costs her everything -including her own life.
7.5 / 10
It was an okay book. I liked the crossover between this book and the Silent Patient, that was a very nice touch that I enjoyed. The story itself was a lack. I thought the book was predictable as I thought of it about 80 pages in. I did not understand why the author included the Henry plotline, it added nothing to the story (other than a red herring) but I believe that was already covered with Edward Fosca's character. I felt like the ending was rushed and I wished I had a little more explanation on how the Sebastian / Zoe thing began.
