About the Book

"Darkly inventive and full of grit" -New York Times bestselling author Caroline Leavitt

Anya and Greg seem to be the golden couple, until dark secrets come to light and unleash inevitable devastation in this slow-burn he said/she said psychological suspense novel.

Greg has his life all planned out: become a doctor, buy a house, and have a wife and children - and when he meets Anya during his post-doc studies in Boston, all of his dreams seem to come true. It's love at first sight, and Greg doesn't shy away from changing his life to provide Anya, his beautiful butterfly, with everything she wants and needs.

Anya is a struggling artist, determined to make it as a painter in Boston's art scene - but getting involved with shy and sweet Greg could thwart her lifelong ambition. Their relationship unfolds like a classic love story . . . except that Anya seems to be hiding something that unsuspecting Greg soon must face.

Are Greg and Anya truly the perfect couple, or will jealousy, uncertainty, and dangerous machinations break them apart in the most dreadful way imaginable?

Megan Abbott meets Paula Hawkins's The Girl on the Train mixed with some Patricia Highsmith creepiness that will make you turn the pages! A psychological suspense novel "darkly inventive and full of grit" (New York Times bestselling author Caroline Leavitt).



About the Author :

Clea Simon grew up in New York before moving to Cambridge, Massachusetts, to attend Harvard. She fell in love with the area and lives in nearby Somerville with her husband and their cat, Thisbe. She is the author most recently of the "newspaper noir" amateur sleuth Bad Boy Beat and the Dulcie Schwartz, Theda Krakow, Pru Marlowe, Blackie and Care, and Witch Cats of Cambridge mystery series as well as a number of grittier standalone novels of psychological suspense.



Review :
The theme of fear and control in a relationship emerges in Simon's tense, slow-burn latest Simon's keen eye for the way in which her characters willfully deceive themselves is on point If you are looking for a relationship book that seems both familiar and fresh simultaneously, Clea Simon's The Butterfly Trap is an excellent choice Darkly inventive and full of grit and suspense . . . a deliciously sinister take on 'he said/she said,' sexual politics, and what we do for what - or whom - we love. Truly, film noir on the page A sense of foreboding builds from the first page until the shocking conclusion . . . Block out time for this one - you won't be able to put it down Clea Simon delivers a cautionary and dark tale . . . you won't be disappointed Simon's fans will appreciate this swerve; it's also a must for readers who enjoyed the dueling male and female narrators in Araminta Hall's One of the Good Guys

Fast-paced and deeply satisfying . . . Simon is at the height of her considerable powers . . .
The prose here is propulsive, stylish, and pleasingly spare, with narrating crime reporter Emily Kelton's voice sliding often into noir territory. Bad Boy Beat is a top-notch read, securing Simon's position as one of the sharpest voices working in crime fiction today

Simon's staccato prose sets a tense mood that keeps readers on the edge . . . New territory for Simon that's definitely worth another chapter Readers will quickly find that the twists and turns of the plot more than satisfy - with a particularly stellar final act that is guaranteed to please even the harshest critic of crime fiction
