Mystery/Thriller -- 5 stars
Jan just got a promotion at work. Jan is also a pathological liar. Now she is flying to Crete for a reunion vacation with friends she met there five years ago. Her ex-boyfriend, Marcus, a history teacher with a good deal of knowledge about Greek mythology, will be there too. Everyone arrives at the remote Greek villa, but instead of a celebration, something seems "off." There is a new addition to the group, new tensions, a feeling of disorientation. Then Jan wakes chained to a wall in complete darkness, unable to explain where or why, or even how she got there. But she's sure of one thing, Marcus' Minotaur is to blame. After all, she wouldn't lie. I loved this book, every peeled onion layer of it. The whole atmosphere is unsettling, breeding the kind of uncertainty that makes putting it down an extreme act of self control.
