Every bit as fast paced as a Lisa Gardner book should be. Especially loved the detailed research about spiders for the villain of the book. Sometimes I wonder how many murder mysteries is too many.
Won't be learning the answer to that any time soon.
good read, not as good as her others though. if you don't like spiders, I don't recommend reading this book!
While I do like Kimberly Quincy, she's not my favorite Lisa Gardner character. I love Rainie & Pierce though so I'll continue to read these. Kimberly just isn't that likeable of a character.
Anyhow, the story was good though there were a couple of things that I thought we obvious right away. There were also some things that I didn't see coming at all, which is always a good thing. Gardner was a little dramatic with the spiders. Her description of the giant tarantula was pretty off base, but I guess being accurate wouldn't have been so scary.
Overall, I liked the book. Wonder if there will be a continuation of this actual plot later on, but we'll see.
