Netta Becker and the Timeline Crime

About this book

The visions and auditory hallucinations begin almost as soon as they enter the decrepit villa on Crete, but Netta puts it down to the heat, or maybe sleep deprivation.

But when she and her history-obsessed younger brother, Remy, visit the palace of Knossos, things get seriously weird and the line between fantasy and reality dissolves.

Netta is dragged back thousands of years to Ancient Greece where a power-crazed king is building a treacherous labyrinth. There are rumours of a monster at its centre. A monster demanding human sacrifice. 

Can Netta and a downtrodden princess put a stop to the evil before Netta loses herself in history forever?

This atmospheric time-slip fantasy transports readers to the heat, dust and glory of Crete at the peak of its historical might and brilliance.

There are no straight lines in this book. Time travel is depicted as a tangled labyrinth that might be seen as a reflection of how we learn to live our own lives. Sometimes we seem to be fumbling in the dark but with perseverance we can learn to navigate and survive.

Netta and Remy certainly become closer and stronger after their adventure and the feminist perspective on an ancient myth is both refreshing and inspiring.
