Review: Spider's Web is a police procedural novel which takes place outside of Boston. A killer stalks, provides warning and then kills young women.  Detective Lonnie and his partner are on the case. 

This book was a nice surprise. I liked how Omer didn't focus on one detective and gave perspective from multiple people on the force. I felt like I was reading the script to a Law & Order episode (and I'm a huge fan of L&O, this was a good thing). This was a mystery but not a "thriller" and I enjoyed the change of pace. 

Grade: 4/5
