I started reading this book because I loved the Silent Patient also by Alex Michaelides. I didn’t find this book to be engaging as the Silent Patient but it is interesting how he weaves in stories and characters from Greek mythology into this murder mystery. Overall, it was a good read but I did find the ending to be lacking and generally not how I was hoping the book to end.

Very gripping all the way to the end. Sadly I didn’t like the end but still didn’t take away the suspense

I REALLY enjoyed this book. Anytime a book surprises me and makes me gasp out loud is an instant win for me. However, so frustrated by the ending 😭 hoping there is another book to follow.

Very engaging—it was easy to feel compelled to keep reading. I thought I figured it out multiple times but was still surprised by the ending. I definitely liked The Silent Patient more (the characters and plot felt more fleshed out), but this was still a good thriller for me.

I really enjoyed this one and couldn’t stop listening to the audiobook. Didn’t see the plot twists coming at all.
