A Deadly Web

The Dorothy Martin Mysteries, Book 25

De: Jeanne M. Dams

Narrado por: Kate Reading

When an "unofficial" relative of Alan’s arrives from the States, Dorothy and Alan are drawn into a tangled web of murder and lies.

Dororthy Martin is more than capable of dozing during a raging storm in her snug house in Sherebury, but the loud ping of an unexpected text on her husband Alan’s phone quickly wakes her up. Alan’s unofficial great-niece, Lucy Bowman, is coming over from the States for a conference.

When Lucy arrives, she gushes about her fiance, Iain. But Alan makes a disturbing discovery about Lucy’s engagement ring, and no sooner has Iain set foot on UK soil when he’s the victim of a mysterious hit-and-run. Was it an accident, or murder? Drawn into the police investigation, Dorothy learns that Iain was not all he seemed to be, and uncovers a shocking trail of deceit. Can she separate fact from fiction to untangle a deadly web of lies?

The false identities

Great ending happily ever
after. Love all the characters. Another great novel by Jeanne Dams.

Not her best

I’ve read most of the Dorothy Martin series, and this is my least favorite. There are always light in quick to read, but enjoyable. I struggled to get through this. It seems that all they do is eat and drink and nap. The plot was a little ridiculous and the characters boring. I will try the next one to see if it improves, but if not, I think I’m through with this series.
