Goodreads asked Cathy Hayward:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Cathy Hayward The inspiration for The Girl in the Maze came when I was clearing out my late mother’s house in 2016. I didn’t discover anything which helped to explain our difficult relationship and the one that she’d had with her own mother, although I wish I had. But it made me think about what I might have discovered and the book came from there.
