THE BELLADONNA MAZE

by Sinéad Crowley (£18.99, HB, Aria)

The labyrinth can lead you to heaven, or the furthest reaches of hell. Deep in the gardens of Hollowpark in west Ireland lies the Belladonna Maze. For those who know its secrets, the pathways are a place of unimaginable wonder. But those who don’t may never find their way back, left to wander for eternity among the mournful spectres of the maze. Grace arrives at Hollowpark to work as a nanny for young Skye Fitzmahon. But she soon finds herself entangled in the mysteries of the maze and Skye’s alluring father… Told across dual timelines, this tale of dark passions is hauntingly atmospheric.
