Ali with Dave Holman and Edie, her Mom begin a tandem investigation in order to clear Ali of a murder charge. Gripping tale, loads of suspense and possibilities. Action, action, action I read it in one sitting as I couldn't put it down. So this one was pretty interesting . Full of mystery, murder, & blogs. This isn't something I'm not normally into but it works for me. Ali Reynolds is accused of her husband's murder and at the same time dealing with blogging issues as it pertains to her current brush with LAPD. Read this book, you won't regret it. Ali Reynolds was being such a twit so many times in Web of Evil, that it was hard for me to bear listening to her. It's a good thing I've already listened to books one and three, or I wouldn't want to listen to another of her adventures again. The opening murder is suspenseful and cruel. Our former reporter is once again suspected of murder and does not enjoy being tried by the media or disbelieved by the police. The police seem particularly suspicious of how nice Ali is being to her estranged husband's pregnant young mistress. There is plenty of suspense, but all too often it reminds me of my youth, when my sister and I watched slasher and horror movies on TV. We'd be yelling at a character not to go into the basement/barn/spooky old cabin, etc. Of course the character didn't have the self-preservation instincts of a house fly and went right in. Good-bye, character. If Ali Reynolds were in a horror movie or novel instead of book two in a mysteries series, she wouldn't have come out alive. Cat lovers, Samantha the rescue cat is back. She has a lot more sense than the woman fostering her. no reviews | add a review

HTML:In the second thrilling adventure of 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 the prime suspect at the center of a terrifying web of evil. The highway from Los Angeles to the Palm Springs desert is parched, unforgiving, and deadly. In the suffocating stillness of a car trunk, a manâ??his mouth and hands bound with tapeâ??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.
