A solid mystery thriller from Alex Michaelides. Better than The Maidens but not as good as the Silent Patient. The non-linear storyline and first person limited voice made it a really fun read. None of the characters are likeable but they're interesting enough that you want to know what happens to them.
If you liked Saltburn, you'll like this book. It's not the same level of sexually charged but it has the same outsider vibes.
