"Edward Fosca is a murderer. Of this Mariana is certain. But Fosca is untouchable. A handsome and charismatic Greek tragedy professor at Cambridge University, Fosca is adored by staff and students alike -- particularly by the members of a secret society of female students known as The Maidens. Mariana Andros is a brilliant but troubled group therapist who becomes fixated on The Maidens when one member, a friend of Mariana's niece Zoe, is found murdered in Cambridge. Mariana, who was once herself a student at the university, quickly suspects that behind the idyllic beauty of the spires and turrets, and beneath the ancient traditions, lies something sinister. And she becomes convinced that, despite his alibi, Edward Fosca is guilty of the murder. But why would the professor target one of his students? And why does he keep returning to the rites of Persephone, the maiden, and her journey to the underworld? When another body is found, Mariana's obsession with proving Fosca's guilt spirals out of control, threatening to destroy her credibility as well as her closest relationships. But Mariana is determined to stop this killer, even if it costs her everything--including her own life."--

Okay read
I had high hopes for THE MAIDENS since it has been getting so much hype, but sadly this one was not for me. Having Cambridge University as the backdrop for this story was something I was really excited about since I love a grand, historical boarding school or college as the backdrop for a thriller. It felt like the setting wasn�t really capitalized on, and it seemed this story could have taken place almost anywhere. The one thing I really loved was the subtle (not-so-subtle?) nod to THE SILENT PATIENT towards the end of the book. That part was a fun little Easter egg for someone who loved that book. I know a lot of people are really loving this book, so if you�re even somewhat interested in the book I would suggest you try it out for yourself! It was ultimately a quick read, and while I didn�t love it I�m sure other readers (especially thriller fans) might enjoy this book.
