The Maidens by Alex Michaelides

2.0

ALEX MICHAELIDES I GAVE YOU ANOTHER CHANCE!!! AND YOU BETRAYED ME!!! After reading The Silent Patient and finding it utterly disappointing three years ago, I thought enough time had passed to try again. Maybe it was my fault the first time. Maybe I just didn’t get his vision. The answer: NO! This book couldn’t even be redeemed by its dark academia characteristics, usually something I hold so dear. There’s an attempt at a red herring which just turns out idiotic, and the twist here is as dumb as the twist in The Silent Patient. Anyway, don’t waste your time with this author is what you’re after is quality mysteries. HE DOESN’T WRITE THOSE!!
