THE TRAP

The case of a missing woman who is presumed dead haunts her sister, Lucy, who knows in her heart that her sister is alive . . . somewhere. Convincing the police in Ireland is another matter. The production beauty of this audiobook is staggering. The clarity of the voices and the perfection of the audio itself make it a pleasure to hear. Alana Kerr Collins's lilting Irish brogue is a treasure, even if the subject matter of the story is disconcerting. In contrast, John Keating's performance of the male point of view is just as cold and calculating as the villain he portrays. The writing runs on a bit but, overall, is worth listening to as Lucy finally persuades a civilian police worker to take another look at the case. From there, everything spirals out of control.
