4.0

It is a satisfying, fast-paced thriller and as fun to read as, The Silent Patient. Again, the plot contains psychology and Greek mythology; this time, it is Demeter and Persephone, life, death, and rituals. But unlike The Silent Patient, this is a whodunit with a serial killer on the loose with several misdirections.
