Cassandra Grayson leads a quiet life managing a library in Queens, NY. There’s only one thing missing… her sister. Cassandra hasn’t seen her sister since the night their father died, only five years old at the time and can barely recall the events of that night. Her alcoholic, emotionally unstable mother refuses to discuss her. But, as the years pass by with no word from her, Cassandra begins to suspect there is more to her father’s death and her sister’s disappearance than she first thought. Desperate to find answers she hires a private investigator, but when he turns up dead it becomes clear someone doesn’t want her looking into her family’s past. When wealthy businessman Jackson Evans stumbles into her life, with problems of his own, they realize his family and hers are inexplicably entwined in a web of deceit and murder, which spans two decades. One by one, everyone who was in her home the night of her Father’s death, begin to die under suspicious circumstances and it becomes a race against time to uncover the truth, before she becomes the next victim. If you like reading Nora Roberts, Melinda Leigh or Kendra Elliott, you’re going to love this series – full of suspicion, murder and intrigue.

Tangled Web (The Carters Book 1) Reviews

    This Is a Steamy Romance Novel

    The backbone of this novel is a lusty romance with nausea-inducing family dramas including adultery, blackmail, mentally unbalanced characters, unveiling of half-siblings, and unscrupulous business deals. Front & center: a sexy, gorgeous woman + a sexy, handsome man = the romance genre’s de rigueur instant-love—which is followed by almost-instant office sex. The last leads to semi-explicit sex at frequent intervals.
    The “cover blurb” is about the mystery, which the author tied in with the romance storyline. The mystery starts at approximately the 40% mark with a murder that finally draws police scrutiny. By that time I guessed the storylines and side stories of the romance/family drama(s) and the probable mystery. I prefer suspense/thrillers, police procedurals, and hardcore mysteries unadulterated by maudlin family drama.

    NOTE: This author is in desperate need of a good editor.

Their mother, is an unstable alcoholic refuses to talk about that night. The night they took her sister away. They kept telling Cassandra that her sister went to boarding school in Europe. But when Cassandra hires a private investigator to look into finding her sister, she uncovers more that she bargained for, especially when the investigator is found dead! Was her father murdered? Why? By who? Why did her mother lie all these years about her sister? What really did happen that night and why? You will have to read this story and unravel the tangled web to find out. I would like to thank Cyanide Publishing for a copy of this book. I voluntarily left a review.

    Completely absorbing

    I have loved all of Wendy's books so far, I'm obsessed with her first series. This new series is so different from the last but the writing is equally brilliant. With the rich, in depth descriptions and brilliant believable characters it really draws you in. Can't wait for the next one.

  • Claudia

  • Jeanne Brewer

    Old family secrets provide foundation for years of pain

    Well-written and tightly-plotted, this is a tale of dirty secrets that haunt good people for years. Add in unethical business shenanigans and an extremely cold and unfeeling character you will detest and end up being engrossed in a world that is so unbelievable it eventually makes a sick sort of sense. Recommended

  • Gerri Johnson

    I absolutely loved this book! Two people, Cass & Jackson, meet and discover there is a definite connection between them. As it turns out there many connections. She is trying to find her sister who disappeared 20 yrs. ago and Jackson is recovering from finding out his father is not really his father. The twists and turns of this book and are phenomenal!

  • Sandra Burns

    Really good story.

    This book had so many plots going on at once. The rich creep, whose wife had two sons. Only one was the rich creeps.
    Then rich son meets a special lady . She stayed by his side when no one else did.
    Then, someone trying to kill the special lady.
    Add a missing sister and business embezzlement, plus several murders and you have a great read.

    Held my interest to the last page. Couldn’t stop thinking about it when I wasn’t reading because I was going through guesses about who and what was going to happen next. New author for me and I can’t wait for the next read.
