If you’re a fan of true crime, then I highly suggest you stop what you’re doing and pick up this book. A Tangled Web was an incredible story that took you deep into the world of cyberstalking and the manipulation and twisted actions that go into it. I enjoyed this book so much and can’t wait for Leslie Rule to bring us more true crime stories.

The Story: The story itself was absolutely mind-blowing. It was unbelievable to think that someone would be able to manipulate and dupe so many people, including investigators and detectives! The book was never boring and jumped from one insane event to the next. Leslie Rule did an incredible job of taking us on a chronological journey through what would be a treacherous three or so years for Dave Kroup and Cari Farver’s family. I was amazed at how long Shanna was able to keep up this charade for so long!

The Flow: I love the way Leslie Rule set up this book in a chronological order with some small steps into the history of certain characters. It was nice to get background information on key people in the story so we could get a little more insight into who they were as people. The book flowed seamlessly from one event to the next.

The Characters: Since these aren’t made up characters, I can’t really comment on the author’s creation of them. However, the presentation of the characters was executed well and I think we had enough information on everyone to feel like we knew them and the part they played in the story.

The Writing: Leslie Rule is a brilliant writer and true crime storyteller. I loved the way she wrote this book and was captivated with her words.

As I said, I loved this book. It was a captivating story that was truly unbelievable and shocking. If you love true crime, read this book!
