Marianne (Australia) (2012/04/10): The Time Trap is the seventh in the Ray Crawley series by Peter Corris. Crawley is in the position of Acting Director of the Federal Security Agency while his boss, Hector Bain, is overseas and the Assistant Director is ill. Not that he is Acting much like previous Directors do….. he is quite distracted by Carol Mainwaring, his cool, efficient and very attractive secretary; his old retired colleague, Huck, has brought the “accidental” death of two FSA archivists to his notice; his reliable computer nerd, Boris Stein, is acting strangely; and Ruth May, the daughter of one of the archivists, who looks remarkably like Crawley’s wife, Mandy, appears to have been abducted. Corris gives us another fast-paced, action-filled tale of espionage and intrigue; there are cover-ups and kidnapping, quite a bit of sex and hard drinking, murder and violence, guns, knives and poison, a loyal dog, a useful halfwit and a resourceful heroine. The characters are realistic, the dialogue is authentic and the plot completely believable. Another excellent Corris offering.
