I started reading this book because I loved the Silent Patient also by Alex Michaelides. I didn’t find this book to be engaging as the Silent Patient but it is interesting how he weaves in stories and characters from Greek mythology into this murder mystery. Overall, it was a good read but I did find the ending to be lacking and generally not how I was hoping the book to end.
