A brilliantly crafted psychological thriller, packed with red herrings that lead to a jaw-dropping and deeply satisfying twist. The writing is sharp and immersive, pulling you in from the start and never letting go. The layered use of Greek mythology adds extra intrigue and keeps the reader questioning everything. Every reveal is earned, and the ending hits perfectly—clever, unexpected, and worthy of Agatha Christie herself.
