Publisher's summary

When librarian Laura Griffith's 16-year-old sister disappears on a frigid February day, leaving only a brief note behind, Laura resolves to do whatever it takes to track down the runaway teen. That includes recruiting ATF agent turned PI James "Dev" Devlin to help. But the deeper he digs, the more he begins to suspect that something sinister is at work in the girl's disappearance. And the closer he gets to uncovering the truth, the clearer it becomes that the situation isn't just dangerous - it's deadly. Chilling and at times terrifying, Trapped is the latest thrilling listen from Irene Hannon, the queen of romantic suspense. Hannon outdoes herself with this fast-paced tale of fear, deception, and just the right dose of romance.

another great book!

took a little a little longer for me to get into this one, but still a memorable read. smooth narration, and great story line. downloading the next in series now:-)

another great book by Irene Hannon

I really enjoyed this book by Irene. . the characters were great, the narrator did a good job, the storyline was well woven and presented. The situation the teenager found herself in was a difficult one to read about because of how real that plight is for some naive teenagers. I'm just very happy it had a happy ending! Irene handle the telling of difficult situations well. another great story by her

Very good narration

This book has very engaging characters and some romance with good suspense. It was just too slow moving for me. The narration is very good.

My favorite story so far!!!

I loved this book so much!! I can’t wait to read the next one!! My favorite so far!!

Great story; narrator needs work

Loved the story and the characters, but the narrator wasn't very good. I'd recommend getting the written version.

It couldn't get any better

I listened to the first book, in a series of three, and the first one, I give a 5 star and a good review, but this one just got better, if there were more star's I would rate it higher. Be sure to get the whole series..you won't be disappointed.

Contrived narration made this one difficult ...

Is there anything you would change about this book?

This review might have been different if a different narrator had done the story. I just did not like the contrived tone of the narrator.

What did you like best about this story?

I like Irene Hannon's style of writing very much. Her novels move seamlessly amongst the characters, giving the reader a real sense of what makes each character 'tick'. The character-development of the teenaged sister in this novel was interesting and moving.

How could the performance have been better?

I like Irene Hannon's books and had just finished an audio book that I thoroughly enjoyed ("Deceived") by the same author (though a different narrator). I looked forward to another fast-paced and enjoyable novel as I selected "Trapped" but I simply could not get past my frustration with the narration of the story. I am not usually very critical of narrators. I know that narration is an undervalued professional skill and I have the utmost respect for a good narrator. Ms.Ciulla's style and tone just did not do justice to this novel.

Was Trapped worth the listening time?

I cannot recommend the audio book though I would recommend the novel.

Slow Plot

Good story overall but dragged out through each chapter. Action was paced way too slow.

Ok book

A book that is easy to listen too. No twists or turns. Nothing earth jarring. Likeable characters.

Thought Provoking

I liked the character development. I also enjoy clean romance books. I could hardly wait until the conclusion. That Mark guy was really crazy.
