少女们 亚历克斯·米凯里德斯 这是一部构思巧妙的心理惊悚小说。故事以剑桥大学的学术氛围为背景，结尾出人意料。它融合了心理悬疑、黑暗学院风等元素。
A group therapist, Mariana Andros, still grieving the sad loss of her better half, gets an urgent call from her niece, Zoe. She is frantic and upset over the vanishing of her college room-mate. Mariana leaves promptly to join Zoe at Cambridge College to offer her help. Mariana is immediately dubious of a well known Greek tragedy professor, Edward Fosca, and his elite group of 女 students, named ‘The Maidens’.
当又一名学生被杀害后，玛丽安娜加大了对福斯卡教授的施压。她的行为开始近乎痴迷，让她看起来越来越精神失常……
The Maidens is Alex Michaelides follow up to his worldwide successful debut 小说, ‘The Silent Patient’. The plot, by and large, didn’t have enough cohesiveness to pull off another stunning twist toward the end. The climate building was creepy. The feeling of foreboding and fear was thick with anxiety, however it was not sufficient to hold the story together.
When I completed reading half of the story, I had already sorted out the primary piece of the puzzle, despite the Alex Michaelides’s attempts. Attempts to redirect my attention away from what was very self-evident, with large number of distractions and devices.
我很喜欢《少女们》这部剧，它让我们了解到希腊民间传说是如何持续影响着我们的生活方式，以及我们今天的生活状态的（想想它对心理学、数学、医学、天文学等领域的贡献……）。通过这部悬疑推理剧，我真切地感受到了希腊民间传说的力量……
尽管对我来说，Alex Michaelides 的 The Maidens 是我以前从未见过的。 尽管如此，我仍然喜欢阅读它，但没有达到作者以前的标准。 这很可能是一种紧张的情况，作者感到有压力去满足大家的期望。 所以，也许他工作过度了，或者有点想太多了。
我对此感到失望吗？ 并不真地。 总而言之，Michaelides 是一位非凡的作家，我会愉快地阅读他随时写的所有内容。 我迫不及待地想读他接下来要讲的内容。
