Description
'You'd think they'd do something about the taxi shortage,' he says. 'Especially with the missing women.'
Stranded on a dark road in the middle of the night, a young woman accepts a lift from a passing stranger. It's the nightmare scenario that every girl is warned about, and she knows the dangers all too well - but what other choice does she have?
As they drive, she alternates between fear and relief - one moment thinking he is just a good man doing a good thing, the next convinced he's a monster. But when he delivers her safely to her destination, she realizes her fears were unfounded.
And her heart sinks. Because a monster is what she's looking for.
She'll try again tomorrow night. But will the man who took her sister take the bait?
Inspired by a series of still-unsolved disappearances, The Trap is the startlingly original new thriller from internationally bestselling author Catherine Ryan Howard.

Summary: Absolutely unputdownable! Once I started this novel, I had to keep reading until I finished.
The Trap is a cracker of a novel by Catherine Ryan Howard.
Inspired by a series of tragic, unsolved disappearances in Ireland, this story tells the tale of the fictional Lucy who is willing to do anything, to find out what happened to her sister Nicki, who disappeared a year earlier without a trace.
Nicki is one of several missing women but the Garda operation is failing to gain any traction and Lucy decides to hunt for the suspect by turning herself into "bait".
The pacing is well measured, ensuring that the reader is kept on their toes, with sufficient twists to keep you engaged. There is a sense of urgency built up but the various points of view and the 'explanation' from the kidnapper is particularly well written and chilling.

With many thanks to Netgalley and Random House Uk for this free Arc. I am leaving this unbiased review voluntarily
The Nothing Man is one of my best reads ever so I was super excited to read this. This book totally blew me away. Absolutely gripped from a brilliant opening chapter. The dialogue in this book is sublime especially from the pov of the suspect. I so wanted to get to the end to find out what happens but at the same time I never wanted to stop reading this book. This is writing of the very highest calibre. Ingenious plot yet again from this wonderful author. Flawless
