This was definitely a good read, and I am glad that I picked it up. I do think that there were several red herrings in the story which by the end took away from the story’s impact. From my recollection, there were a few character storylines that were undeveloped and unresolved, which influences my rating. I would recommend this book to people who like mysteries and thrillers. My take away from this is reading classic literature, like the Ancient Greek tragedies, in the future.

I liked it. I feel like the author put a lot of red herrings in and it makes the reveal feel unfair. Not sure if that’s how it worked in the silent patient.
This books is incredible. It truly had me mesmerized, terrified, and on the edge of my seat from the very first page. A dark academics dream, I sincerely recommend this to anyone! Who doesn’t love a good who-done-it?
This is exactly what I want in a true crime novel. Beautifully done

Well I absolutely devoured this, in one day. It was excellent! I’ve heard great things about The Silent Patient but I hadn’t gotten around to reading it yet. This one, with the Greek mythology included, caught my attention and I snatched up an ARC as quickly as I could. It was well written, you really feel as though you’re inside the mind of a therapist, examining everyone’s reaction. With an excellent plot twist and an ending leaving you wanting more! What else could one ask for in a Psychological Thriller?

I enjoyed this more than The Silent Patient honestly. Good twist and red herrings. I liked the little tie-in with The Silent Patient as well.
