It was okay. Not as good as the silent patient. I quite liked how it was written, a playwright telling a story and bringing in specific playwright techniques, I found this very creative. It certainly made it more entertaining to read, but at some points dragged on. I think you’d have a hard time predicting the ending of this book. it’s very twisty, which I like in a mystery. I also liked how this tied in with some the silent patient and the maidens. Overall, a bit slow and boring for my mystery/thriller taste.
