THE DARKEST WEB

Kristin Wright

What is more dangerous? The lies she tells or the truth she's hiding?

Jane Knudsen is an exceptionally private and intimidatingly beautiful workaholic attorney. Unflappable and cool, she's the last person likely to suddenly snap and murder one of her firm's senior partners. Yet she's become the most likely suspect in the crime. She's retained Allison Barton, her former law school roommate, to represent her. It's Allison's job to believe Jane, even if Allison never really knew her. No one did. Jane always made sure of that. For Allison, getting close to her client now grows more complicated with each new development in the case. There may be other suspects in the victim's orbit - is harried assistant, his wrathful wife, his overly attached daughter - but everything points to Jane's guilt. She had opportunity, access, the weapon, and a motive - and she's hiding something else. And Jane would rather go to prison for life than reveal the secrets that could save her. But what secrets are worse than murder? And what will Allison risk to discover them? Kristin Wright is a graduate of the University of Michigan Law School and has simultaneously been a small-town general practice lawyer handling criminal defense and the vice president of the elementary school PTA. She lives in Virginia with her husband, sons, and two beagles.

THE DARKEST WEB is a chilling, heart-gripping thriller that will grab you from the first page until the last. Not only is it a fast-paced legal drama, it deals with very real trauma and delves into a world so horrifying you can't believe it's real. Kristin Wright is a master of getting into the twisted minds of evil people.

Wright has done it again in her addictive sophomore novel THE DARKEST WEB! Disturbing as it is captivating, this female-driven legal thriller includes all the elements that made Wright's debut so successful, with twists and turns to make any reader consume it in one go as I did. THE DARKEST WEB will have you questioning the benefits of beauty and how well we truly know our colleagues.

Taut, suspenseful, courtroom scenes and strong, fascinating, female characters made me unable to put the book down. A top-notch legal thriller.

Sharp writing, clever storytelling, with two great lead characters. THE DARKEST WEB is like a stick of dynamite that once lit races toward an explosive and satisfying climax. Kristin Wright is the real deal.
