The Butterfly Trap

OUT NOW

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?

Risk and danger exist with each turn of the page, with readers never quite knowing who to trust....
Shocking.... Recommended for anyone who likes relationship suspense with strong characters and a good sense of place.
On the surface this is a he-said, she-said crime tale, but there is much more going on in this darker departure from Simon's previous work. It's a close examination of what happens when one partner is completely smitten – the reader will be waiting for the yearning to tip over into obsessive stalking –and the other not only believes themselves not right for this love, but unworthy overall.
– FirstClue Reviews
The theme of fear and control in a relationship emerges in Simon's tense, slow-burn latest (after Bad Boy Beat, 2024), along with the exploration of the many ways two people can deceive each other.
