From the author of the global #1 bestselling debut The Silent Patient comes a spellbinding literary thriller which weaves together Greek mythology, psychology, and murder. . . St. Christopher' s College, Cambridge, is a closed world to most. For Mariana Andros - a group therapist struggling through her private grief - it' s where she met her late husband. For her niece, Zoe, it' s the tragic scene of her best friend' s murder. As memory and mystery entangle Mariana, she finds a society full of secrets, which has been shocked to its core by the murder of one of its students. Because behind its idyllic beauty is a web of jealousy and rage which emanates from an exclusive set of students known only as The Maidens. A group under the sinister influence of the enigmatic professor Edward Fosca. A man who seems to know more than anyone about the murders - and the victims. And the man who will become the prime suspect in Mariana' s investigation - an obsession which will cost her everything. . . The Maidens is a story of love, and of grief - of what makes us who we are, and what makes us kill. * * * * *Praise for Alex Michaelides and his #1 global bestseller THE SILENT PATIENT:' Absolutely brilliant' STEPHEN FRY' Excellent' JOANNE HARRIS' Terrific' THE TIMES, Crime Book of the Month' Smart, sophisticated suspense' LEE CHILD' Compelling' OBSERVER' An absolute jaw-dropper' LUCY FOLEY' Hugely impressive' STEVE CAVANAGH' Totally original' DAVID BALDACCI' The pace and finesse of a master' BBC CULTURE' Genuinely chilling' SHARON BOLTON' Unforgettable' ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
