Alex Michaelidis The Maidens Book

Mariana Andros is a brilliant psychotherapist who is having a hard time with the death of her husband. Edward Foska is a handsome professor, teacher of Greek tragedy at Cambridge, a favorite of students. The fates of these two seemingly unrelated people will fatally intersect. Mariana is seized by some already obsessive confidence in the guilt of Fosca: the woman notices in him a narcissistic sociopath obsessed with the cult of Persephone. He leads the secret society "Virgo", whose adherents worship him as a god. But only Mariana seems to see Fosca's sinister intentions. Soon, one of the students will be found dead with her throat cut and her eyes gouged out, and the path to the afterlife of Persephone will begin. However, Mariana is determined to prove Fosca's guilt, even at the cost of her own life.
