Web of Evil

A Novel of Suspense

De: J.A. Jance

Narrado por: Karen Ziemba

In the second masterful thriller in the New York Times bestselling Ali Reynolds series, Ali’s soon-to-be-ex-husband turns up dead under mysterious circumstances, and Ali soon finds herself in a twisted web of mystery and murder.

The highway from Los Angeles to the Palm Springs desert is parched, unforgiving, and deadly. In the suffocating stillness of a car trunk, a man—his mouth and hands bound with tape—waits to learn his fate. Fortunately for him, he’ll never know. What possible enemy could be bitter enough to commit such a heinous crime? And when will the monster make another move?

Ali Reynolds is traveling that same blistering, lonesome highway, looking forward to putting her past behind her. She’d left Los Angeles for the home comforts of Sedona, Arizona. But her cheating husband is in a hurry for a divorce; his very young and very pregnant fiancée has a wedding planned for the next day. And the television network that wrongfully dismissed Ali for the sole sin of being over forty will face her in court as well. So, Ali must return to the scene of those crimes. As she passes the site of a horrifying accident, she’s thankful it’s no longer her job to report the news. Until she finds out the news is her own: the victim is Ali’s husband, and soon she’ll find herself the prime suspect at the center of a terrifying web of evil.

I'm not sure about this series

After I read the first book, I thought I found a new mystery series that I can enjoy. However, after reading the second book of the series I'm not sure. In this book, Ali consistently makes foolish and reckless decisions. She complains about paying her team of lawyers, tey, she ignores their advice. A friend of hers who is also a policeman volunteers to help her and she not only ignores his advise but she treats him like crap. This guy is in L.A. to help her and not once does she offer to help him with his expenses. Yet she is willing to help out everyone else financially. The only thing that saves this book is that the plot was engaging. Their were serverl many twists and turns that kept me interested. However, because of ALi's behavior, I had to stop reading a couple of times and scream out loud. I did finish the book and it was entertaining. I might read the next book. If that one isn't good, I will be finish with this series.

Good story, not a fan of narrator

While a good story told well, New York/East coast accent of narrator wrong and grating. Fine if the characters were from that area of the country, but story was based on characters from Northern Arizona. Was all set to listen to the rest of the series, but unfortunately will not as they have the same narrator. Bummed!

thanks again for another great book

another great book that consumed me and kept me engaged from the start. thank you Donna Coy

Entertaining

I love reading J. A. Jance's books. The audio version is thoroughly captivating and easy to listen to. Great book!

Janice is BRILLIANT

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I developed a fondness for Jance becasue she writes about an area I often travel through on my way to San Carlos Sonora Mexico from central New Mexico. Her plot lines on all her series revolve around geography and history of the region and it’s easy to visualize just what she is describing. Each series has it’s own familiar characters and lots of twists and turns. The Beaumont series is a good read but I’m not fond of the narrator. There are some in the other series I prefer over others. All in all, it’s a great way to pass the time while I do my sewing work.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I don’t have any one.
