Thank you to Celadon Books for providing a physical copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
I have no words!!!!!! Holy fucking shit balls, dude!!! If this doesn’t win thriller of the year in 2024, I will truly be shocked. The writing and narration were incredible. There were so many twists and turns; every time I thought I knew where the story was going, I was completely bamboozled. All of the characters had something to hide, which made it truly difficult for this reader to form hypotheses as to the central murder of the story. I could tell this must have been an extremely challenging book to write. Endless applause for Alex Michaelides! WOW.
Bonus: I haven’t read The Maidens yet, but there was a Silent Patient nugget at the end! 🥚 How fun for Michaelides’s avid readers.
