Web of Evil

Cannot wait to see more of Ali. I read this book in one day and could not put it down. Judith Jance does make her characters very real. Her sense of humor always shines through.

It was a pleasure reading a follow-up to the introduction of Jance's new character, Ali Reynolds. This was an easy read and proves the author's ability to create and develope a new and interesting character. However, I still prefer her Joanna Brady and J. P. Beamount characters and am looking forward to the return of Joanna and/or Beau.

I miss J. P. Beaumont, and though I like other of Jance's other series', with "Web of Evil" I truly believe it is the best book of hers that I have read. I loved the premise, and the plotting was strong, with tight characterizations, good dialogue and smooth transitions. The kind of mystery that it is well worth staying up all night reading - well in my case two nights, but still a great ride. I highly recommend "Web of Evil" even if you have never read one of the long shelf of J. A. Jance mysteries. You couldn't find a better one to start with, and I know if you try one you'll be hooked for good. But I still am waiting for another J. P. Beaumont?

So far, I have found this book as entertaining as any of her books. Her style of writing definitely gets you interested from the beginning and stay interested. This book is a sequal.

I recommend this book for anyone who enjoys a mystery with a strong woman as the main character, and certainly for readers who have enjoyed any of JA Jance's other books. This book grabbed me from the opening paragraph-- I couldn't read it fast enough because I was anxious to see how things turned out for Ali Reynolds, wrongly suspected of her soon-to-be ex-husband's murder. The book has so many interesting twists and turns that held my attention to the very last page. Great read!
