I was hooked from the start by the exotic setting(s),
international verbage/dialects, and the spy-novel type thrills that run rampant
in The Tangled Web.
Ms. Lane’s thriller is set primarily on a Caribbean island,
replete with tropical lush scene painting and intriguing local color. The
characters who hail from the island range in character and style from rich
white landowners to the delightful housekeeper, Ivy, who was one of my favorite
(albeit minor) characters.
The dialog felt genuine, as did the frustration experienced by
main characters Logan Armstrong (international tycoon) and Lauren Anderson
(journalist) as they plummeted through this adventure without being able to
fully communicate their feelings or intentions until the very end.
I won’t rehash the plot here—since so many others have done so
very thoroughly—but suffice it to say there is great treachery ongoing in the
Caribbean political scenes behind the bright and touristy island of blue oceans
and heady-scented flowers. The Prime Minister has become corrupt, putting his
island’s future in peril due to his links with the drug cartels and his own
selfish purposes. Two plots interweave to assassinate this monster–one driven
by a truly frightening cartel head, Maria Echevarria, and the other by
well-meaning government officials who know that the Prime Minister must go.
I enjoyed this romp across the globe: from New York to London,
from Prague to the Caribbean, it held my interest throughout. Well done, Ms.
Lane!
