Reviews

I loved this brilliant, edgy, character driven thriller with a passion. So clever and fresh with a wild and incredibly satisfying twist at the end -- Lisa Jewell I read this in one sitting, completely gripped. A fast-paced thriller, full of twists upon twists and tension you could cut with a knife. Hugely enjoyable. -- ALEX MICHAELIDES This is AMAZING...I devoured it in two compulsive sittings. 'Gripped' doesn't even come close!! -- MARIAN KEYES Great and vivid characterisation that kept me guessing and surprises up to the very last page, this is a highly entertaining read. -- LIZ NUGENT, author of Strange Sally Diamond Never trust a reunion – especially one in a Mark Edwards thriller... Tense, artful and satisfying, The Wasp Trap buzzes between past and present delivering one deadly sting after another -- LOUISE CANDLISH The ultimate - literal - locked room mystery, that hits you with twist after twist. -- RUTH WARE The Wasp Trap is a compelling mystery that explores the consequences of human behaviour. Whether it's falling in love, keeping secrets or committing murder, this tightly plotted page-turner reveals, piece-by-nail-biting-piece, how the sins of the past can shape our present in violent ways. Full of Edwards' trademark twists and peopled with a fascinating cast of characters, this deserves to be a smash-hit. -- FIONA CUMMINS Twisty, clever, often funny, always inventive, The Wasp Trap takes the reunion thriller into new and exciting places. -- ELLY GRIFFITHS A search for the perfect dating site become a search for the DNA of psychopathy, a project that quickly turns towards the dark. Years later, when the experimenters reunite, secrets reaching back into the past ramp up the tension, balancing lives on a knife edge. An ingenious, twisty read from the master of the suspense thriller. -- Vaseem Khan The most gripping book I've read in ages. A posh house. A dinner party. Old friends, each with their own slant on their very very dark shared past. Mark Edwards is unbelievably skilled at coaxing you further in to the mystery with each page. -- William Shaw
