I enjoyed this book. The narration was interesting and the plot  immediately drew me in. I enjoyed the focus on psychotherapy and was intrigued with the psychological interpretations. I started The Maidens right after this and I enjoyed the concurrent connections with the content and characters. This is a well written mystery, which is also like a dark, emotional, psychological mystery. A great combo.
