The Maidens by Alex Michaelides

4.0

4 I’m not sure I liked this as much as The Silent Patient. Michaelides’ ability to make the reader feel claustrophobic and anxious just didn’t appear in this one. I do love the setting of an elite collegiate campus with a Greek Tragedy inspired academic murder mystery (The Secret History anyone?). This wasn’t as clever as Michaelides’ debut, nor as compelling but the premise and short chapters made this easy to read and enjoyable.
