WOW!! This sensational, locked-room thriller was one wild and crazy ride! I could NOT put it down and binge read it in less than a day. With an ensemble cast of questionable characters at a dinner party that quickly spiraled into a sick, twisted game, I knew that I was in for lots of fun and excitement. And Edwards did not disappoint! He NEVER disappoints! This story is told in a dual timeline, switching between past and present POVs. We are provided multiple mysteries from both times that are significant to the plot. The whole psychopath aspect was extremely interesting. There were so many secrets and lies, but I still was not prepared for the unexpected turn this story took. There were a few jaw-dropping, epic reveals that I never foresaw coming. What a fantastic story! I loved every minute of this book and cannot wait for Edwards' next adventure! I highly recommend this one! It's a MUST READ for thriller fans!

Note: Congratulations to Mark Edwards on The Wasp Trap being his first book to be published in the US by a traditional publisher! What a well-deserved achievement!!

Huge thanks to Atria Books for granting me early digital access via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review!
