The Trap

Topical, twisty, and with a real heart stopper of a moment halfway in that'll make you turn the lights back on. * Gillian McAllister, author of WRONG PLACE WRONG TIME * 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 * Abigail Dean, author of GIRL A * 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 * C L Taylor * As brain-teasing as it is gripping . . . [a] psychologically dazzling novel * Sunday Times - Thriller of the Month * 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 * Andrea Mara, author of ALL HER FAULT * Elegant and twisty, it lingers in the memory * Daily Mail * 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. * Alice Feeney, author of DAISY DARKER * A propulsive thriller about a sister desperately trying to find her missing sibling. Twist after twist - left me simultaneously reeling and wanting more! * Sarah Pearse, author of THE SANATORIUM * Howard has a sly gift for misdirection . . . Again and again, you'll blithely follow her down the wrong path * New York Times * I was absolutely blown sideways by the twist . . . A white-knuckle ride of a serial killer thriller. A corker of a read. * Observer *
