Lucy’s sister, Nicky is missing and has been for over a year. Lucy, unable to come to terms with her disappearance is convinced that she is the third victim in a string of kidnappings in her small Irish town. As Lucy continues to put herself in even more dangerous positions, Angela a civilian for the Missing Persons Unit, is determined to solve the disappearances. At the same time a nameless man drives through the night, ready to find his next victim.
This was the perfect audiobook to listen to while running! It had just the right amount of suspense to keep me entertained and convince me that I could do one more mile. Alana Kerr Collines and John Keating were the perfect narrators for the story and I don’t think I would have enjoyed it as much had I not listened to it.
The multi-pov provided plenty of insight into the case, while the killer’s inner monologue kept me on the edge of my seat. Together they created the perfect mystery novel with plenty of complex twists and made me feel as if I was watching a True Crime Documentary.
I didn’t love Howard’s 56 Days when I read it back in 2021, but The Trap completely makes up for that, and now I’ve adding some of her backlist titles to my reading list. Completely recommend grabbing a copy of this one, especially for my True Crime lovers!
