About
From award-winning, internationally bestselling crime writer Catherine Ryan Howard comes The Trap: an unsettling mystery inspired by a series of still-unsolved disappearances in Ireland in the nineties, wherein one young woman risks everything to catch a faceless killer.
One year ago, Lucy's sister, Nicki, left to meet friends at a pub in Dublin and never came home. The third Irish woman to vanish inexplicably in as many years, the agony of not knowing what happened that night has turned Lucy's life into a waking nightmare. So, she's going to take matters into her own hands.
Angela works as a civilian paper-pusher in the Missing Persons Unit, but wants nothing more than to be a fully fledged member of An Garda Síochána, the Irish police force. With the official investigation into the missing women stalled, she begins pulling on a thread that could break the case wide open-and destroy her chances of ever joining the force.
A nameless man drives through the night, his latest victim in the back seat. He's going to tell her everything, from the beginning. And soon, she'll realize: what you don't know can hurt you …
"Dark and witty and clever. An original and highly gripping read, I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. Catherine Ryan Howard has a deliciously dark imagination and always tells a good tale."
"Topical, twisty, and with a real heart-stopper of a moment halfway in that'll make you turn the lights back on."
"This one will chill you to the bone! The Trap is a taut police procedural, psychological thriller, and family drama crafted into one brilliant, breathless thrill ride. This might be my favorite Catherine Ryan Howard novel yet!"
"Dark, creepy, and very clever, The Trap will lure you in and keep you captive until the very last page. Catherine Ryan Howard is the Queen of the Unguessable Twist."
"The Trap is an irresistibly suspenseful, heart-pounding read, full of perfectly executed twists. I never wanted to stop turning the pages. It has everything anyone could possibly want in a thriller."
"A skillful, compelling read. I absolutely loved it."
"Everything a thriller should be: clever, page-tearing, devastating. Catherine Ryan Howard makes you feel for her characters so much, whether you love them or absolutely loathe them. It's impossible to stop reading-or to stop thinking about The Trap, long after you're done."
"The Trap is everything you want in a book-breathless pace, clever plot, addictive characters, and very pertinent social commentary on how victims are judged. Whip smart, utterly absorbing, and unputdownable."
"A taut, gripping page-turner. Catherine Ryan Howard at her dark and disturbing best."
"Dark, gripping, and terrifying with a killer final twist in the blistering, head-spinning final pages. Utterly brilliant!"
"A breakneck thriller with so many twists and turns that your head will spin. I absolutely tore through The Trap."
"Howard, the author of the wonderful 56 Days…has sentences that unspool like silk and a sly gift for misdirection…Again and again, you'll blithely follow her down the wrong path."
"A white-knuckle ride of a serial-killer thriller."
"Catherine Ryan Howard always delivers, and The Trap might be her most electrifying thriller yet. Told by a victim, a relative, an investigator, and a killer, The Trap takes a classic crime story and twists it into something vast, emotional, and absolutely terrifying."
"Catherine Ryan Howard is an absolute master of suspense and her latest thriller, The Trap, is an utter triumph! Pulse-pounding, heart-wrenching, with razor-sharp commentary and twist after ingenious twist, I raced through this suspense, desperate to find out what was going to happen next. And my mind was blown when I did! A must-read for summer."
"A heart-in-your-mouth, punch-you-in-the-gut, gripping thriller. Everything you'd expect f
