SOLVED. Fiction in form of mid centuries interrogation process. [s]

[Leonid]

Please help me to recall the author and the name of the book. The book itself is written in the form of interrogation notes, probably in the middle centuries period. The main character hires several people to accompany him to a mysterious place. One of his companions was a girl from a public house. And in the end of the book when they arrive to the destination (some kind of cave) a spaceship appears and takes the main character.

So this would be science fiction? Geared to adult readers or young adult? Do you remember anything about the cover? When did you read it, and was it new at the time you read it or had it been out for a while?

A Maggot by John Fowles, maybe A Maggot. This description https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Maggot says " Its title, as the author explains in the prologue, is taken from the archaic sense of the word that means "whim", "quirk", "obsession", or even a snatch of music (see earworm). Another meaning of the word "maggot" becomes apparent later in the novel, used by a character to describe a white, oblong machine that appears to be a spacecraft. Though the author denied that A Maggot is a historical novel, it does take place during a precise historical timeframe, May 1736 to February 1737, in England. It might be variously classified as historical fiction, mystery, or science fiction. Because of the narrative style and various metafictional devices, most critics classify it as a postmodern novel."
