The Maidens by Alex Michaelides
3.0

Overall the first 2/3 of the book had me pretty captivated trying to figure out who did it. However the last 1/3 felt almost rushed and lackluster. I think the person who did it was a clever choice but the reasoning behind was disappointing. It sort of came out of left field. Even though there was the few chapters written in what we assume is the killers first person narrative instead of our protagonists third person, when finding out about who those chapters belong to were a little disappointing.

With that being said I think the writing itself was brilliant Michaelides does a great job in transporting the reader to the scene, I’ll definitely be picking up more of his works in the future.
