![]() Despite having an alibi provided by a group of his favorite students, called The Maidens, she sees too many connections between the murder and his performative lectures on Greek mythology to be dissuaded. As she visits to comfort Zoe and conducts an unofficial investigation on the crime (much to the chagrin of the police), her attention focuses on the charismatic Professor Edward Fosca – and Mariana becomes convinced he is the murderer. She’s still grieving her husband’s untimely death when she gets a call from Zoe, her niece and sole living relative, whose friend has just been murdered at Cambridge University. Our protagonist is Mariana, a group therapist and recent widow in her mid-thirties. But in the event you call a little too late and have to put your name down on the reserve list, hopefully this review will tide you over. Wait no longer it’s now on CCPL’s shelves. Charles City didn’t escape the hype – we discussed The Silent Patient in March 2021 for CCPL’s Friday Morning Book Club, and many of us have been curiously waiting for the publication of his follow-up novel, titled The Maidens. In 2019, the most-bought debut novel in the world was The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides (if you need a refresher, here’s our review on it! ). ![]() Reviewed by Kamryn Kronschnabel, Patrons Services Librarian ![]()
