Weave a Murderous Web by Anne Rothman-Hicks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Jane Larson, an up and coming Lawyer, takes on a domestic, unpaid child support, case on the request of a friend. As she looks further into the finances of the defendant she finds there is more to him than meets the eye. And it’s not all legal! Jane soon finds herself embroiled in a web of drugs, lies and murder.
It does take a few chapters for the writing to settle but from then on the story is absorbing with plenty of twists, turns and witty dialogue.
Jane is a great protagonist, sharp-witted, sarcastic and cynical. She doesn’t take crap from anyone. She zeroes in on the problem at hand and nothing will get in her way until she has answers.
There are plenty of characters introduced and they each have their own distinct personalities. There is lots of suspicious activity, where everyone seems to have something to hide. Add to this a few red herrings and it will keep you guessing until the action packed finale.
The epilogue ties the story up nicely.
I received on ERC to read and review.
