What a book! I wasn’t the biggest lover of The Silent Patient, so going into this book, I didn’t know how it would go. But the mixture of Greek mythology, English academia, and fast paced mystery kept me engrossed. There were multiple characters I kept questioning on who was the murderer. I also thought I had guessed the ending but what brought it up to 5 stars was the fact I was super surprised by the ending. I definitely recommend!
