The Butterfly Trap

by J.V. Phaure

After Lucy is beaten and left for dead by her ex-fiancé, Charlie Wainwright, she finds herself too frightened to ever be left alone again. Yet when her boyfriend tries to console her, she shrinks away, traumatised. As she struggles to pull together the broken threads of her life, the cool, unwavering Detective Inspector Phillips resolves to go all out to catch her assailant. At first, Charlie slips the net — and the trail has gone cold. But Phillips has one last card to play. It means going beyond his normal remit. It means risking more than he is prepared to stake. And it may mean the end of everything for Lucy. But is is enough to trap a hunted man who, cornered, would commit the unthinkable? "J.V. Phaure delivers another first-class thriller in this much anticipated sequel to 'Girl on the Beach'. 'The Butterfly Trap' is rich in drama with a brilliantly drawn central character you can't help but not root for. It's sure to keep you gripped until the very last page" - Susan Duerden - Award winning actress and audiobook narrator (LOST, Emmerdale, NCIS)

Wow! Absolutely amazing! I loved The Girl on the Beach and it was as if it was written about me, who now lives in Harwich!! But The Butterly Trap, I simply couldn’t put this down and am so sad it’s ended! Can’t wait to read Jack’s Story now!

One word…WOW
I have just finished “The Butterfly Trap” written by @j_v_phaure it is the follow on from “The Girl on the beach” I don’t want to give anything away, but what an incredible story! I cannot recommend both books enough. They are written so lovely and instantly got me hooked, my mind was racing as the story went on. I loved the different characters and I am glad to finally have closure on the story of Lucy!

This is J V Phaure’s sequel to “The Girl On The Beach”. A very clever plot which I believe will appeal to all and for which I was captivated from the very beginning and right through to the end. The author had me gripped by such a very descriptive and imaginative storyline that just flowed and flowed. I found that the book was so beautifully worded that I was completely lost in my own imagination and visions of the locations and characters as I journeyed through the story. I urge you to visit this novel and be taken also on a wonderful trip that the author steers you through the written pages.
