I rated The Silent Patient 5 stars. The Maidens was a reluctant 4. This one is an emphatic 3. There's not much in the narrative to hold you and make you keep turning pages. Even for a short book of less than 250 pages it seems a bit long. Also, obviously in such books, the narrative is supposed to mislead you but being flagrantly dishonest is annoying. Also, the climax seems too unreal, almost contrived.
Fun! Which came first, this or glass onion? Twists for the sake of twists? Maybe. But the writing was fun and the structure was creative. 3.5!
