8.1.2023 - The Trap

The Trap by Catherine Ryan Howard 

Many thanks to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for gifting me a digital copy of the latest thriller by Catherine Ryan Howard - 5 stars!

One year ago, Lucy’s sister, Nicki, left to meet friends at a pub in Dublin and never came home. Nicki is the third Irish woman to vanish in the last three years, and Lucy is completely obsessed with finding out what happened to Nicki.  There's been a police task force set up, Operation Tide, but the investigation is stalled.  So much so that Lucy feels she has no choice put to take some matters into her own hands.  Angela works in the Missing Person Unit but wants to be a Guarda.  An investigator, Denise, takes her under her wing and pulls her into the investigation.  But her latest venture is on her own and could cause big issues.  

Catherine Ryan Howard has done it again - made a thriller with twists that make you smack your forehead that you didn't see coming!  But you won't.  I loved that there was narration by a nameless person who is talking to his latest victim in the back seat, telling her everything.  Just added another creepy level to the book.  There's also social commentary about which missing people get all the press.  Highly recommended - I loved it!
