A review by nebulous07
The Darkest Web by Kristin Wright
5.0
The Darkest Web is the second book of the Allison Barton series but is my first book of Kristen Wright. This is an outstanding legal thriller with innumerable twists and turns till the end. It qualifies as a standalone book as the references to book one are minor. The plot had me hooked, and I was compelled to finish this book in one sitting. Narrated from Jane and Allison's point of view, Jane is the primary suspect of the murder of one of her firm's senior partners. Jane is highly private and is known for her exceptional work ethic. However, the ghosts of her harrowing past become entwined with this case.
Jane and Allison had crossed paths before as they were roommates. The level of complexity, in this case, opens the door of the past. This results in both protagonists reevaluating their relationship as friends while exploring the attorney and client dynamic. The character growth for both female leads is commendable. Kristin Wright injects elements of insecurity, vulnerability and accountability exceptionally well. At the end of every chapter, the revelation keeps you going with concise writing. The sense of justice achieved at the end is highly satisfactory, with puzzle pieces coming together unpredictably. I cannot wait to read more from Kirstin Wright. I know I will be reading book one soon. A 5 star read!
