Compelling plot development

"A good 'page turner'. The plot flows nicely between the present and flashing back to 25 years ago - this does not feel clunky."

A tight thriller brimming with atmosphere

"""𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐢𝐦𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐨𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐤 𝐬𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐠𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐬𝐞𝐝. "" Mark Edwards' first novel to come to North America via a traditional publisher is a major winner. Six strangers joined together one summer work on a project that was going to change the internet, until it all fell apart. Twenty years later, they gather at a dinner party to honour the professor who they worked for. Reunions should be happy right? But when the former friends are trapped in the house with invaders who demand to know: what was the secret of that summer? Not everyone will make it through the dinner party alive unless they uncover what happened twenty years ago. . . Edwards creates a smart ensemble thriller that has two lush locations: Georgina and Theo's three-story townhouse in present day London, and the secluded mansion of Thornwood in the summer of 1999. He deftly illustrates the passage of time, with the reunion of the friends who were once close but quickly estranged after they went their separate ways. Once the doors are locked and the guns are out, the sense of dread and unease only grows throughout the book, playing with tight pacing that keeps the pages turning with an unnerving atmosphere and tightly-wound characters. The characters each have their secrets, some more terrible than others, and they all make you question their morals and motives. I thought having Will as the main narrator felt unique, as often thrillers rely on the ""unreliable female narrator"" trope. Edwards holds many reveals in his back pocket, doling them out at the perfect times, and keeps you guessing with some well-played out twists in the second and third acts that I definitely didn’t see coming. The Wasp Trap is a story where the less you know going in, the better. It is a well-written eerie adrenaline-filled ride that keeps you guessing to the final page."

Intricate, ominous, and razor-sharp!⁣

"𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐒𝐏 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐏 is an engrossing, chilling thriller that explores the tangled bonds that can exist between friends and coworkers, and reminds us that behind all those cheerful smiles often lurk simmering resentments, rising tensions, and devastating secrets. ⁣ ⁣ The prose is taut and edgy. The characters are layered, secretive, and anxious. And the plot is a darkly twisted web of lies, secrets, infidelity, swirling emotions, devious behaviours, vengeance, and murder. ⁣ ⁣ Overall, 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐒𝐏 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐏 is a suspenseful, atmospheric, thoroughly gripping page-turner by Edwards that proves once again that nothing is ever quite as it seems. ⁣"

Zoe C. (4/5)

A great thriller!

"I thought this was a very clever and tightly plotted thriller with some great twists, most of which I never saw coming. It also felt fresh in that the plot was very original. While there were lots of great characters, keeping track of who was who was very easy. There was some violence of course, but also some humour, a touch of romance and a cat that played a role in the plot. The forced revealing of secrets as a means of providing a second timeline worked well. Thanks to NetGalley for the digital advance reading copy. 4. 25/5 stars"

Pages fly by

"The Wasp Trap is a fast paced and diabolically clever with twists and turns that you wont see coming. Expect the unexpected with Mark Edwards: I do but I am always taken off guard. The Wasp Trap is a locked door mystery full of secrets and lies, deception and so much more. It is told in a dual time line with the past being in 1999 when the characters all meet up for the first time when they take a job to help a professor develop a web site for online dating. The project did not end well or on the best of terms. Flash to the present and six of the friends are back for a reunion at the home of Theo and Geraldine. It will be a reunion that they will never forget . Someone is keeping a secret and in order to survive the secret must be revealed. Mark Edwards takes the reader on a tense journey full of twists and turns, red herrings and an ending that is unforgettable. Thats all I am willing to say in order not to give too much away. Be prepared it is almost impossible to put The Wasp Trap down. I hated the book to end ."
