Very goodI found this story to be a absorbing thriller. So many times the previews of a book says a real thriller, but it’s not. This is that lives up to the preview. The characters are totally believable and very well written.
*** 2/10/18 FREE on Kindle ***‘When Kendele selected the songs for her jogging playlist, she didn’t pause to think “What if I die hearing this?” it wasn’t a question that normally occurred to her, though perhaps on that day it should have.’If you enjoy police procedurals and murder mysteries, Spider’s Web is a solid effort in the genre. It compares well to other, better known, books of this type.“But death can trickle in during quiet, thoughtful moments. It doesn’t ask for permission, often snea...
Young, beautiful women are being murdered … none of them in the same way. One is drowned and strangled. Another is run over by a car. But this is a serial killer with a twist … he sends them all a text message showing them a picture of what he’s going to use as a murder weapon.Detective Mitchell Lonnie and his partner, Detective Jacob Cooper have to find the connection between the victims. Were these random attacks? Did the killer know these women personally? How did he meet them? How did he get...
A copy was provided by NetGalley and the publisher for an honest review. A serial killer sends his victims a message before killing them. All to heighen the anticipation of the kill. Mitchell & Jonas are the lead detectives on the case. I connected with various characters and tried to stay a step ahead of the plot. Mike Omer provided a book I would recommend.
Note to Self:If on KU Read & Listen, try the story but not worth spending money on for audio. This was a mediocre story across the board: predictable plot, cookie cutter characters and tidy ending.
I really like Mike Omer's suspenseful, mystery writing. Jacob and Mitchell are partners working on crimes together. Jacob is the more mature, experienced detective but Mitchell seems to have good PR with witnesses. So they work together well balancing each other out.I really liked how the story was built up. The murderer’s signature was an original and scary one too: he sends his victims a picture of the murder weapon he will kill them with. Then the clock starts ticking. They will have 30 minut...
This is one of those books where I gave it a three star review, but I swear I liked it! I just couldn’t give it a higher rating for a couple reasons. The first being that in the book and audio there are not clear markers on the different POV’s. Each paragraph break is kind of a free for all, the POV could really be anyone. With the audiobook, it really became a challenge and I had to listen extra carefully, as there was no clear indicator or long enough audible break between POV changes. The sec...
Mediocre. That’s the word that comes to mind when considering this book. Everything was mediocre. The characters were mediocre, one dimensional, and stereotypical. The angst ridden Det. Lonnie. The reporter only interested in milking a story. The evil feds and state police who want to swoop in and take over the case. The politically motivated chief. And on and on. And worst of all is that I never felt anything for any of the characters and had zero sense of forboding or thrills throughout this b...
This was pretty good, it the first have was as good as the second half it would have been a five star. I would read more in this series because the characters were full bodied.
This was a really good police procedure which showed some sublime detective work from Mitchell Lonnie. Jacob and Mitchell are partners working together. Jacob is the veteran cop in the force, Mitchell is 15 years his younger and very good looking, he also has a feeling for getting witnesses to open up and get the info he needs, by showing his compassion.I really liked how the story was built up. The murderer’s signature was an original and scary one too: he sends his victims a picture of the mur...
Meh..This was an alright story but there was nothing really exciting about any of the main characters. No edge of your seat moments. All personalities were bland, except for maybe Tanessa’s. Her fight with the killer was a little exciting, but that’s all. If an author doesn’t give his or her characters any personalities they become boring, therefore the book becomes boring too. I mean, Mitchell screamed and fought against his cop-sister becoming bait for the killer yet when she was hurt by the m...
I’m always looking for a good book to read. A page-turner. What does that mean? A book that invites you into its make-believe world and smothers you in detail until it feels like you’re living inside it. A book with characters you fall in love with because they talk like real people and act on hidden psychological impulses similar to the ones that motivate us all. A book with an addictive pace and funny insights, but also deeper insights, too. Mike Omer’s “Spider’s Web” is all that. The point-of...
This book is good, but it drags on! I wasn't sure if I was going to ever get finished with it! I was happy to reach the end!
Spider’s WebI really enjoyed this book. It did have a slow start. Once I got hooked I couldn’t stop reading. I enjoyed that it had me guessing and so many unexpected turns. I was pleasantly surprised to see Zoe Bentley assisting
3.5 stars
I just really needed a straightforward police procedural and Spider’s Web was already in my audible library. This fit the bill perfectly. I’d had good luck with Michael Omer before and this continued the trend. It’s the first in a series and I’ll definitely listen to book #2. Detective Mitchell Lonnie is investigating the murder of a good looking woman found in a shallow grave. Before long, there’s another murder of another good looking woman. And more than that, he realizes each woman was given...
Ok, I read the first book of each series backwards: first ‘A Deadly Influence’ with Abby Mullen, then ‘A Killer’s Mind’ with Zoe Bentley, and finally this novel featuring Mitchell Lonnie. Once again, it was a well written police procedural/crime mystery/psychological thriller. My only reasons for knocking this one down to four stars is because I praised the other two later books for their ‘silence of profanity’; unfortunately a silence this book lacked. Can I assume his greatest supporter and gr...
