“I can’t believe that The Trap is the first Catherine Ryan Howard book I have listened to, but I guarantee you it won’t be my last. The cast of characters - missing women, an unreliable police task force, the grief-stricken sister of one of the missing girls, the boyfriend of one of the women, the husband of another, and a civilian in the missing person unit who aspires to become a policewoman help make this a compelling story. But the most compelling character was the kidnapper, himself, who has a creepy monologue dispersed throughout the book explaining how he came to do what he does and what the police have wrong. ”
