Nelson DeMille returns with his best thriller yet featuring former homicide detective John Corey who is called out of retirement to investigate a string of searing, grisly murders that take place a little too close to home. Corey is now in forced retirement and is asked by his former lover in Plum Island, Detective Beth Penrose, to help search for a serial killer who has murdered nine prostitutes and hidden their bodies in the thick undergrowth on a lonely stretch of beach.
This is my first John Corey book. I am enjoying John Corey's dry sarcastic humor which gives the book an extra boost. The book seems to be inspired and based on the unsolved Gilgo Beach murders. I want to go back and read the other books in the series. I found all the characters to be interesting and the plot action is such that it kept me reading until the very end of the book. I would highly recommend The Maze and find that if you like mystery thrillers, then you will love this book. I would like to thank NetGalley and Scribner for a copy for an honest review.
