The Maidens

This follow up to his twisty and superb debut novel actually feels a little more straight forward and may have distinctly failed to live up to its predecessor. This tale seems a little more of a cookie-cutter vigilante story of someone trying to solve a string of murder with cultish elements and while the big reveal at the end is decent (if not rushed), it might not be worth the journey down a beaten path. While it is written in the same style of his other book and still has great flow, you could find yourself waiting for the other shoe to drop the entire time and potentially struggling with what appears to be various different tones throughout.
