A Fatal Web of Deceit

Hannah Horne Larkin just wanted to go home, back to West Virginia. Her husband, Bill, obliged. Now, Bill is dead, and the couple's son is suspected of the murder. Hannah doesn't know how this happened-how things went so badly. All she wanted was to rekindle the joy of her youth, but now, she finds nothing but pain.

Sergeant Keith McCauley is suspicious about what happened to Bill Larkin and also he is unexpectedly attracted to Bill's widow, Hannah Larkin. He rarely finds cases to be cut and dry, so he delves deeper into Bill and Hannah's pasts. Somehow, it would appear Bill's death has to do with a business corporation, but the sergeant is having trouble making any evidence stick. Meanwhile, Hannah is haunted by her own demons.

"Adda Leah Davis, author of the Lucinda Harmon series, has taken her pen and her readers in a decidedly different direction with "A Fatal Web of Deceit." She has crafted a real page-turner, keeping the reader on the edge of their seat.

Beckley, West Virginia, a quiet city by most standards, is the setting for Davis's well-written story of mystery, murder, and deception. It will keep you guessing to the very end, trying to determine who the "good-guys"are or if there are any. "
