Hello my Fellow Book Dragons! Welcome to Tea Time Tuesday..I do apologize for the lateness of the hour, but the Spouse and I had a rather hardy tea with our grandnestlings, something we have not done in months – I am sure some of you will understand completely – and I fell asleep after – bother! I do have a rather fine Gem for you all this evening, too, another reason I was so sleepy. The five flame Gems are keeping me up later and later devouring them. I am gaining weight, but it is well worth it!

Tonight’s Gem is made from the finest crystals, they have been heated at the highest degrees in the deepest recesses of Mt. Doom and spun into the rainbow colored Spider’s Web you see before you. It looks like actual silk, but its not. I must ask you not to touch, it will break if you so much as put a claw on it. I keep it under this observation glass for a reason. Let me tell you it’s story, but first let me tell you it’s maker and name. This is Second Generation Gem Maker Leslie Rule’s “A Tangled Web”.

The Rule name is Royalty in this Cave and so should be familiar to you all. Her mother was Ann Rule. The Queen of True Crime. The Dragon Feeder. The Gem Maker of “The Stranger Beside Me” about her relationship with Serial Killer “Ted Bundy”. Leslie inherited her mother’s genes. She is the Heiress, a Gem Maker and is now a Dragon Feeder, in her own right! But first let me tell you that Leslie is no Jester in a courtroom. Many of the courtroom pictures in her mother’s books were taken by a very young Leslie. So now that we have discussed her pedigree and credentials, let us discuss her talent and her Gem.

I loved this book in every appropriate sense. This is the story of a killer. It is true. This killer used the internet to manipulate many people to her own ends. She was expert at it, but it’s fine, invisible strings and metaphorical webbing to make some people dance like puppets on strings. She kept others at arms length and still kept others as close as you and I are now and could have run a knife straight through them..had she wished… but ahhh…why would she? All the better to control you with, My Dear.

I cannot tell you more without telling you all and you know me, I never spoil a good meal for any of you. And as I said, this one is delicious! This book was tight, well written, clinical in the right spots, warm and caring in them as well. Just like the best true crime I have ever read, most of it by another Dragon Feeder named Rule. Leslie, welcome, we loved having you and want you back time and again…you know.. I believe you have your mother’s smile and her writing!

Until tomorrow, when I will post the last question for the April Giveaway, I remain, your humble Book Dragon,

A friend of mine let me borrow this book it feels like eons ago. She has an obsession with anything horror related and therefore she was instantly drawn to this book. I was hesitant. I believe in the paranormal (sorry, not sorry) and was not sure if I could physically read this book and think about my own experiences.

All that being said I was  PLEASANTLY surprised that I could not put it down. I started this book with the intentions of finishing a different one first and this would be the pick up and read when I had nothing better to do but again, I could NOT put this down. I liked that Leslie Rule added in her own writings in between those that are stories from other people.

For my first read of 2020, I think this was the best! I can't wait to eventually read more from her and possibly look into books by her mother, Ann Rule as well.
