Occult & Supernatural Editorial Review

"The Maidens" is a psychological thriller by Alex Michaelides, the author of the bestselling debut "The Silent Patient". The story revolves around Mariana, a therapist who becomes involved in the investigation of a brutal murder in Cambridge, England. As she delves deeper into the case, she begins to suspect that the killer might be one of her patients, a group of young women known as the Maidens. While some readers found "The Maidens" to be a fantastic read and praised Michaelides' descriptive language and use of red herrings to keep the plot intriguing, others were disappointed with the plot holes and unbelievable twist ending. Some also criticized the book's attempt to be deep and clever, noting that the characters felt like caricatures rather than well-rounded individuals. Additionally, some readers felt that the book didn't live up to the psychological aspect of the thriller genre. Despite varying opinions on the book, it seems that readers were engaged enough to finish it quickly, as one reviewer noted that it was finished in a day. Overall, "The Maidens" may appeal to fans of psychological thrillers who enjoy a twisty plot, but expectations should be tempered based on the mixed reception.
