Absolutely LOVED this book, read in 4 days and could not put it down!! Full of plot twists and cliffhangers that left me perched right on the edge of my seat the entire book. Definitely one to read if you're trying to get out of a reading slump or if you enjoy thriller/crime fiction!

The twelfth Roy Grace novel from the highly acclaimed number one bestselling author, Peter James.An ugly duckling as a child, Jodie Bentley had two dreams in life - to be beautiful and rich. She's achieved the first, with a little help from a plastic surgeon, and now she's working hard on the second. Her philosophy on money is simple: you can either earn it or marry it. Marrying is easy, it's getting rid of the husband afterwards that's harder, that takes real skill. But hey, practice makes perfect . . . Detective Superintendent Roy Grace is feeling the pressure from his superiors, his previous case is still giving him sleepless nights, there have been major developments with his missing wife Sandy, and an old adversary is back. But worse than all of this, he now believes a Black Widow is operating in his city. One with a venomous mind . . . and venomous skills. Soon Grace comes to the frightening realization that he may have underestimated just how dangerous this lady is.
