 Introduction: (00:00)

 Hello gentle readers. Welcome to Book Club Reporter Book Reviews Podcast. I’m your host and Book Club Reporter, Laura Jay. This season three, episode eight. 

 Book/Author: (00:16)

  Today I am sharing with you the much anticipated thriller novel, by author Alex Michaelides, The Maidens.   You all probably remember Alex Michaelides’ first book, his debut novel, The Silent Patient. Which was on bestselling lists for…I don’t know. Eons, okay…at least a year.

 News: (01:02)

 Okay, so I have some news for you all and that is that I have created an additional book review website. And it is Book Praises dot com. So that is b-o-o-k-p-r-a-i-s-e-s  bookpraises.com. I created that website because I wanted to have a special place to review books that I consider to be just as high as they can possibly be rated. So, books that I just super l am in love with. And today’s book is definitely one of those. And you’ll actually be able to find my book review of The Maidens on both bookclubreporter.com and bookpraises.com.

 Book Review (01:56)

 Okay, here’s my book review of The Maidens. There is no way most readers of The Silent Patient will be able to refrain from making comparisons between The Silent Patient and The Maidens. But honestly it doesn’t matter... As far as I am concerned the author has another "hit it out-of-the-park” smash hit novel with, The Maidens. I couldn’t be more thrilled for readers and even more delighted and happy for the author.

 As far as this reader is concerned, Alex Michaelides has done it again! The Maidens is an awesome story. Michaelides brings readers compelling characters within a gripping serial-killer mystery. I am thrilled to tell you what you must already know…author Alex Michaelides is the real freaking deal! 

 The Maidens is a unique and impeccably written story. Michaelides, once again, brings the twist and turns mystery readers crave! Sinister and dark, The Maidens will pull you and mesmerize your mind. We already know Michaelides is fully competent to mess with our heads and to require us to strive to rise to his cleverness and intellectual level. So be sure to come prepared for the challenge.

 This outstanding author keeps us on our literary toes…and all the while reminding us of our love for the mythology of the Greek Gods!  Oh! The tragedy of it! 

 Move over Hitch! Even though it may be more difficult to pronounce…I’m going to abandon the phrase “Hitchcockian” and replace it with “Michaelidesian.” Huh, try saying that three times fast! 

 And by the way, I listened to the audiobook version of the Maidens. I loved the narration.  Oh…one more thing. I must admit, I was wondering if Alex Michaelides would give a nod to The Silent Patient in The Maidens. So does he? Oh, I’ll never tell!
