Didn't precisely spoil the book for me but I do recommend reading them in order. Lead character's (Allie) husband is murdered on the way to the court hearing and she is the prime suspect. Since she is still his wife, she inherits everything and his pregnant girlfriend gets nothing. The murderer was obvious right from the beginning. There were a couple of mildly interesting subplots. Allie is unbelieveably stupid in that she ignores the advice of her lawyer --leave the gun in the safe, ignore's her mother's advice -- don't befriend the fiance and ignore's a cop friend's advice -- stay down and keep quiet. Hate characters that are so oblivious to danger. Was a good book. Kept my attention Recently fired from her dream job as a glamorous LA anchorwoman simply because she is over 40, Ali Reynolds returns home to Secona, AZ. Before coming home, Ali also cuts loose her husband. Now she enjoys venting her feeling in the comfort of her pajamas everyday as the owner of a popular blog. But days before her divorce is finalized, her estranged husband is found dead. He leaves behind a large estate and a pregnant fiancee. Ali is the sole heir - and the prime suspect. It was OK - I didn't love the characters - the story was OK. When her husband misses his court date the day they are supposed to get divorced and his supposed wife-to-be files a missing persons report the following day, Ali Reynolds is automatically the prime suspect, especially when they find that his will is still the same as the day they last saw each other. Now, her husband's fiance has come to her for help with the funeral arrangements and the police are asking her questions every other day. Ali must find out the truth before it's too late for her innocence. A twisted plot of multiple murders, you never know who's going to leave the story when you turn the page. I really enjoyed the book and found that I had a hard time putting it down once I started it. A must read for crime fiction fans everywhere. The first book I have read by J.A. Jance and I will definitely be adding the rest of her collection to my wishlist. 0.109 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0743561600, Audio CD)J.A. Jance's new series, begun in the New York Times bestseller Edge of Evil, continues with a powerhouse tale of suspense. 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 -- awaits his fate. 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. But her cheating husband is in a hurry for a divorce, and the television network who 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 these crimes. As she passes the site of a horrifying accident, she thanks goodness it's no longer her job to report the news. Until she finds out the news is her own. . . . For the victim is Ali's cheating husband, and soon she'll find herself the prime suspect at the center of a terrifying web of evil. A twisted and lethal drama of heart-pounding suspense, Web of Evil asks the question: If hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, just what punishment could that fury unleash?
