Greek mythology and murder I couldn't ask for much more! This is a great introduction to Greek mythology as it is sub theme in the book. We follow Mariana who is a group therapist who's niece Zoe is studying at Cambridge University. Mariana is bought to Cambridge when one of Zoe's closest friends suddenly is murdered. Mariana soon becomes involved in the investigation and is certain that Edward Fosca is the murderer who runs a cult with some of his favourite students. The book is twisty and the main twist is very cleaver and disturbing.
