And why does he keep returning to the rites of Persephone, the maiden, and her journey to the underworld? And she becomes convinced that, despite his alibi, Edward Fosca is guilty of the murder. 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. 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. 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. I was expecting to like this book, but it completely captured my attention.Įdward Fosca is a murderer. I’d heard of ‘The Silent Patient’, but I’d never really felt much desire to look into it as it just didn’t sound like my thing, but after finishing ‘The Maidens’ I bought it without even reading the synopsis. ![]()
