This was such an incredible read! When you tie in two of my favorite things: Greek Tragedy and Mystery/Thriller i am instantly going to be excited, and Michaelides didn't let me down! Mariana is a group therapist mourning the loss of her husband. Her niece Zoe who lives in Cambridge, calls her frantic about a friend who goes missing. When Mariana arrives Zoe's friends body is found, and secrets begin to unravel about popular college girls who are in this elite society called The Maidens and their leader who is a professor. Mariana isn't getting good vibes from the professor and soon her own life is in danger.
