evedelvac 's review for:

The Maidens by Alex Michaelides
3.75
mysterious tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated

So most of the points come off because of the fake psychology.  Learning more about psychology doesn't mean you can suddenly read people's minds, that's stupid. But what I will say is it's a great murder mystery. I found the reveal at the end interesting and surprising. A bit unexpected and I'd like to read through it again to see if there are hints I didn't pick up on. Overall, I'd recommend it - but I liked the authors book 'The Fury' much much much more
