The Trap

The Trap by Melanie Raabe

Summary: In this twisted debut thriller, a reclusive author sets the perfect trap for her sister's murderer--but is he really the killer?

For 11 years, the bestselling author Linda Conrads has mystified fans by never setting foot outside her home. Haunted by the unsolved murder of her younger sister--who she discovered in a pool of blood--and the face of the man she saw fleeing the scene, Linda's hermit existence helps her cope with debilitating anxiety. But the sanctity of her oasis is shattered when she sees her sister's murderer on television. Hobbled by years of isolation, Linda resolves to use the plot of her next novel to lay an irresistible trap for the man. As the plan is set in motion and the past comes rushing back, Linda's memories--and her very sanity--are called into question. Is this man a heartless killer or merely a helpless victim?

Angies comments: Linda Conrads has greatly suffered from the murder of her sister, and you aren’t sure whether she and her memories of the murder are mentally stable. The focus of story is Linda and her life before and after the murder and her relationships with the world and her family. What is and isn’t true? It is more cerebral than action.


Recommended for readers interested in psychological suspense tales.
