    This story comes out October 31, 2022. The paperback is available in October 17, of 2022. This is a book that have it all the mysteries, the murder and the mayhem. A story started with a man with a spooky looking character he was in the rain, with a long coat a hood, he comes to the home of Zoe and David Knight, and the intruder with features of eerily smooth skin, possibly alopecia, or chemotherapy, with the palest eyes that start right through you. Zoe knight and little Charlies, and the unborn child they are expecting. David Knight a novelist, author, or writer comes home from a researching and interview for The Dublin Herald with Niall Fallon. David Knight flight back to England was shattered to find his wife, the details you have to read yourself, and his son bedroom the bed empty. on the wall, in blood as if drawn with a slow and deliberate fingertip, was a maze. The scene was brutal, and the cunning and sadistic serial killer known as Minotaur militated 12 women, Zoe Knight the latest victim but The Minotaur taken David's son, Charles. The man David Knight has to find his son. This story has a ending you have to read, this book is a must- must- read. This book is exceptional, prodigious, a real first- class reading of thrills.

    This book is just the thing for reading on Halloween. It is dark, and mind boggling. It gives the reader a sense of being right there with David, one of the main characters. The Minotaur is tormenting David and has his son. Why take his son, after all he is a serial killer of women. Is there a connection between the two of them? I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. Read it if you dare.

    Wow! This is one of those books that you want to keep turning the pages to find out how it ends but at the same time you want to read slow and savor it because is that good. All of the characters in this book are well written but the serial killer created is extremely twisted and the thing of nightmares. The pace to the plot is perfect and it has quite a few twists and turns. I voluntarily reviewed an advance readers copy of this book.

    I enjoyed reading this suspenseful story. This is a newer author for me which I enjoyed his writing style and I look forward to reading more from him in the future. This is a well written story where a killer continues to keep from getting discovered until one father may just be his downfall. This is a great story that is hard to put down and full of action. The characters pulled me into the story from the start. I had no problems connecting with them as they brought their story to life. I had no problems picturing myself in their world, the author did a great job with this. This is a fast paced, engaging story that I highly recommend.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Dark, graphic but a really good read
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 9, 2024
    I enjoy a good thriller and this book was a darker and more graphic read than my usual type of book. However it was a really good read and the character David took you along with him, sometimes feeling like an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other as he makes his way through his own "maze".

    I love a psychological thriller and this did not disappoint. Gripped me from page 1, so much so I had read the entire book in 3 days. Often dark & brutal, fast paced with plenty of twists & turns. This authors style is definitely my preferred kind of read. I fully recommend this book & look forward to reading more from this author.
