Overall score:

I scored this book 5/5

Short Summary of the book:

A great suspenseful story. Meet Jamie, a single 28-year-old doctor as she treats a young run-away after a vicious attack. But, if she thought that was the end of it, she is very much mistaken. Jamie’s father is arrested for the murder of the girl and during the page-turner of a book, we discover many family secrets. Angelo, one of the detectives investigating the murders, fights his attraction to Jamie as much as she fights her attraction to him. Will Angelo succeed in solving the case and saving Jamie?

What I liked about the book:

It was action-packed and full of suspense.

What I didn’t like about the book:

I loved the book.

My favourite bits in the book:

I enjoyed the book in its entirety.

My least favourite bits in the book:

The fact the book ended. I would love to know what happens next.

Any further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?

This is the third book in the series and I’m interested to read more by this author.

What books could this be compared to and why?

This is always a difficult question to answer. It reminds me of some other books where a hero needs to save a girl. However, in this book the girl is as much of a hero as Angelo.

Recommendation:

In summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:

 

Children

No

Young Adult

Yes

Adult

Yes

 

If you like action-packed suspenseful novels, this book may be the book for you.

I’m certainly looking forward to reading more by this author.

Sparks fly when she meets Angelo Ricci, the new detective investigating the gruesome murders.

Can Jamie and Angelo stop an organised serial killer from destroying more lives?

 

 

 

Web of Lies is the third romantic suspense book in the Friends In Crisis Series. If you like fast-paced romantic suspense, sensual love scenes, and scary villains, you'll love the latest book in Lucy Appadoo's page-turning series.
