Book #22 of 2023. The Maidens by Alex Michaelides.
This was quite a ride!!! Mariana’s niece is a student at Cambridge, her alma mater, and someone is murdering coeds. She is quite sure that she knows who it is, but she has to prove it - despite being warned off by the police, dealing with a stalker patient, a potential love interest on the horizon and the total disdain of the girls she’s trying to protect.
There were so many twists and turns that I DID NOT SEE COMING! There were a few instances where I wanted to grab Mariana and shake some sense into her, but I was rooting for her the entire time. And the ending was completely unexpected! I highly recommend this one and I hope it’s the start of a series!
4.75/5
