Melanie Raabe grew up in Thuringia, Germany and attended the Ruhr University Bochum, where she specialized in media studies and literature. After graduating, she moved to Cologne to work as a journalist by day and secretly write books by night. The Trap is her debut novel.
About the Book: Published 2016
For 11 years, best-selling 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?
My Review:
A good plot but I found the writing to be a little clunky which I put down to the fact that this is a translation.
A good easy read to pass a few weekend afternoons.

I have this on eReader and need to have a cull of physical books, so sending this one off to someone I think may enjoy it.
I received this great sounding book as a RABCK from J4Shaw who is lightening her load of books to move. Thanks for thinking of me and I am looking forward to reading it soon.
