Publisher's summary

Kathleen, Eric, and Seth all get caught up in a web of lies so fragile that one fateful encounter could tear it apart - and force Kathleen to make a choice between the family that needs her and the needs of her own heart.

Classic Sandra Brown AKA Laura Jordan ‘82

I love all of Sandra Browns books and this book was narrated by my new fave Ms LaVoy, see her in Mary Higgins Clark, I’ve Got My Eyes On You. Her narrations of mystery writer Marcia Clark is spot on. Ms LaVoy has a full range and her male voice is great. She can interpret an author’s work very well as she did in this one. I purchased as I got author and narrator for the price of a credit. It doesn’t get better than that! Note: I do use 1.25x speed to match the author’s intent.
This story is from 1982 and written of those times eg women’s liberation movement. Since Ms Brown started her writing career as a core romance writer, this story is a classic representation of her earlier work, hence some of the other reviewers comments.
If you are looking for a current great Ms Brown book, check out my faves, Mean Streak read by the fabulous Jonathan Davis, Smoke Screen and Lethal by the great Victor Slezak.

It's just an OKAY read.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Story was too plain. Too may good people. But I guess that's what the author are trying to make us see.

What do you think your next listen will be?

A sci fi.

What aspect of January LaVoy’s performance would you have changed?

I just don't like it when she's trying to sound like a guy.

Do you think The Silken Web needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Not necessarily.

Good.

I liked the story, narration good. I don't usually mind steamy books but felt there was a little too much sex.

The voice was not good for this book.

What would have made The Silken Web better?

A different Narrator

What could Sandra Brown have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Chose a different Narrator

Would you be willing to try another one of January LaVoy’s performances?

No, I don't care for her voice

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Silken Web?

I can't listen to the book because the voice takes away from the characters

Not Good

This was the worst Sandra Brown book I’ve read. It’s filled with a lot of unneeded details that draw it out. I would not recommend it to anyone.
