What a bizarre book. I thought it was a typical adventure story in which a group gets trapped inside an ancient labyrinth (Journey to the Center of the Earth meets Poseidon Adventure). It was and yet it wasn't. The first half was a very detailed character study of the 'victims' and what brought them to Crete. The second half is set in the labyrinth and relates the survival or demise of the characters. I liked it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
