It's been a while since a book has been able to captivate me in the way The Maidens did. It felt like each new page added to the strange and chilling mystery our MC was trying to solve. I thought I knew what was happening, but when the plot twist was revealed, I could never have imagined it even in my craziest guesses. This story is creepy, twisted, and downright disturbing at times but I'm glad I read it. It opened my eyes to a world I was unfamiliar with. It was a bit too much for me resulting in half a star lost but I was genuinely impressed. Now, I need to go and read The Silent Patient.

I actually suspected the right person early on (ultimately for the wrong reason), but mostly dismissed it because of a very powerful red herring (even though I at one point suspected the red herring as being such). I would say the true ending would be very difficult if not impossible to guess the first time through; I almost want to re-read it again now that I know how it ends.
The audiobook was fascinating to listen to; they used a different voice actor for the alternate perspective.
