After years of humanitarian work in India, Solomon returns to London with his family to take up a prestigious role at a mental health facility, and as he is familiarizing himself with the files he is drawn to the seemingly forgotten case of a young woman named Maryam, who still resides in the facility. This book is described as a dark psychological thriller, and it certainly is that. If I were to describe this book in a just a few words, I would say creepy and uncomfortably sinister. I wasn’t sure about the beginning, but it really got rolling after a while. Throughout much of the story you are unsure how much of Maryam’s psychosis is an act and how much of it is in fact genuine, while Solomon just keeps digging himself deeper and deeper into the mess she is involved in, ultimately bringing the threat down upon his family as well. Despite its short length, this story is very well-developed, and delivers a suspenseful ride as the mystery unfolds. Entertaining Read!
