About This Book
A gripping psychological thriller where memory unravels, and madness leaves a trail.
Arthur Greaves lived alone. Quiet. Private. Until one day, on his ride home, everything changed.
The whispers began. The spiral symbol appeared. And something started watching.
As Arthur's mind fractures under the weight of spiraling delusion—or something far more sinister—his world becomes a maze of bourbon-soaked paranoia, cryptic drawings, and shadows that move when they shouldn't.
After his mysterious death, his estranged daughter Isabel returns to clean out the house. But what she finds buried beneath the clutter suggests that her father's unraveling wasn't madness… it was a warning.
Some things aren't meant to be found. And some things never left.

What stood out most to me was how layered the characters are. They aren’t just pawns in a mystery—they feel real, flawed, and deeply human. The emotional stakes kept me hooked as much as the twists and action. Every time I thought I had it figured out, another revelation blindsided me, pushing the story in an even more compelling direction.
If you enjoy books that combine page-turning suspense with emotional depth, Return What Was Taken is a must-read. It’s the kind of novel that lingers long after the last page.
