REVIEW :

DISCLAIMER : Thank you, Netgalley and Kensington Books for proving me with an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Leslie Rule's A Tangled Web is one of the most fascinating and horrifying true-crime I have read. I read the synopsis and thought that sounds like an interesting case. Never in my wildest imagination did I think that I would be led into the craziest of cases to have happened. It's unbelievable and simply disturbing. The murderer and the stalker are so engulfed by the jealousy that the person took all the means necessary to achieve the goal. The murderer, in my opinion, had deep-seated psychological issues that never were treated and came out in forms one would never believe to be possible from a human being. The dedication and work the stalker put into building the most convoluted web of lies and deceit are astonishing. The book left me chilled to my bone and frightened. To know that someone who lived with us and had interactions with us is capable of the level of crime this stalker committed is scary to even fathom. I gave the book 5 stars and I recommend it. If you love true-crime and love cases that spanned several years with the intricate details that fooled everyone involved, this book will be for you. The book also talks about the safety of online communications and the dangers that lurk in the shadows of the internet. The case happened in a small town with the stalker playing ghost until getting ensnared by the same trap the murder set up to bring in victims. It's a crazy story and the entire case feels like it's not something real, something that only happens in fiction. I would highly recommend checking it out to educate oneself about the potential dangers of online communications and also learn about a group of wonderful individuals' hard work in bringing justice to the victim. True-crime lovers should definitely check it out.
