THE GOOD: If you can suspend your disbelief I think this is a pretty good book, though I'll say I liked THE SILENT PATIENT more. I liked how it connected to THE SILENT PATIENT and would suggest reading this before that book because this takes place before it, although you can read that one first and it won't make too much of a difference. I liked the short chapters and that the story continued at the beginning of a new chapter rather than changing scenes. I put this off for quite a while after reading THE SILENT PATIENT because I was worried it would dive deeper into Greek mythology and I'm glad it didn't.
THE BAD: This was a slower burn. I also guessed the twist and wasn't thrilled with it.
