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 …

I agree with some of the other reviews that state this was written more to draw attention to unsolved cases in Ireland, as explained at the end of the book in a letter from the author.
I did not find the characters particularly likable or sympathetic and though it had an interesting twist at the end it was ultimately unresolved. I didn’t feel the lack of resolution I did anything to the book but perhaps it’s just meant to mimic reality. I was disappointed in it compared to her other books so the narration is wonderful and I do appreciate the authors works! She definitely does a great job exploring the mind of a serial killer!

Interesting twist but unresolved

I really enjoy all of this author's books including this one. I do agree that the ending was not finished. It should have had a little something more to make it feel complete. But otherwise it was really good. Worth a listen.

Interesting

There’s a point in this book where you think you’ve got it all sorted out and then….. beware! Pay attention! It’s called The Trap for a very good reason😉

SUPER TWISTY

Seriously!?
