Cari Farver disappeared in 2012, leaving her friends and family, as well as her life in Nebraska behind. Cari’s boyfriend, Dave Kroupa, accepted the breakup by text, but her mother was suspicious and subsequently called the police. Many years and thousands of emails and texts later, the police believed that Cari was cyberstalking Dave and his new girlfriend, Shanna “Liz” Golyar. Will a break in the case expose the truth behind the disappearance?
I usually like true crime novels, as the reality of these unique situations often read like fiction. Unfortunately, in her zeal to give readers the complete picture as to what transpired, the author gives too much detail and information. I do not like the writing style of the book either, as the choppy sentences make the book hard to read.
Overall, the story of what happened to Cari Farver gets lost in a sea of details. The book was not as compelling as it should have been, so I am hesitant to recommend A Tangled Web to other readers.
