The Maidens by Alex Michaelides
2.0
This is a very dull book.
It reads like a beautiful poem (it's very atmospheric) but lacks a lot of sustenance!
The characters look and sound flat and are incredibly stereotypical.
Also, you can't call it a mystery/thriller just because.
About the audiobook: Louise Brealey's narration was very good and her calm voice certainly helped to create a certain ambiance (maybe that was the only thing salvaging the book!).
Certainly, not a fan of the book but will surely hear more stuff from Brealey!
