Weave A Murderous Web is a mystery/thriller by Anne Rothman-Hicks and Kenneth Hicks. It is one of three books in the Jane Larson series, published by Melange Books
My Take on the Book:
This book has quite a solid form of suspense; with the authors giving very little away. I haven't read suspense like this in quite a while, so I really ended up enjoying this one. And even though Francine wasn't who she quite appeared to be; I still ended up liking her. I gave this book a four star rating and got a copy in exchange for an honest review.
Last Word:
One thing I will definitely say; is that I'll read more books from these authors.
