Come into my parlor...
For Kimberly Quincy, FBI Special Agent, it all starts with a pregnant hooker. The story Delilah Rose tells Kimberly about her johns is too horrifying to be true; but prostitutes are disappearing, one by one, with no explanation, and no one but Kimberly seems to care.
Said the spider to the fly...
As a member of the Evidence Response Team, dead hookers aren't exactly Kimberly's specialty. The young agent is five months pregnant - she has other things to worry about than an alleged lunatic who uses spiders to do his dirty work. But Kimberly's own mother and sister were victims of a serial killer. And now, without any bodies and with precious few clues, it's all too clear that a serial killer has found the key to the perfect murder...or Kimberly is chasing a crime that never happened.
Kimberly's caught in a web more lethal than any spider's, and the more she fights for answers, the more tightly she's trapped. What she doesn't know is that she's close - too close - to a psychopath who makes women's nightmares come alive, and if he has his twisted way, it won't be long before it's time for Kimberly, too...

— Tess GerritsenEngaging if highly disturbing.
— Publishers Weekly" This was a horrible book. It was very gruesome. I could not even finish reading it. It was about spiders, lots of spiders for one thing and then rape along with all kinds of other stuff. I would not recommend this book to anyone. "
— Elaina, 2/18/2014" Way too graphic! "
— TeriC, 2/17/2014" three stories told simlutaneously all come together at the end of the book. Could not put it down!! "
— Lindsay, 2/11/2014" good book, but very disturbing... "
— Sheryl, 2/10/2014" Creepy read. My first Kimberly Quincy book, although it is #6 in the series... Not sure how I feel about the protaganist.... The villian was definitely stomach-churning. "
— Michelle, 2/6/2014" I want to like this book more because there is a good mystery in there and a scene toward the end if finding the bodies that is very creative. However, I had a very difficult time with some parts of the book that involved sexual abuse of children. The author didn't get too graphic, but it was enough. "
— Erica, 1/29/2014" disturbing content, but a definite page turner "
— Rebekah, 1/23/2014" I like creepy and I can handle gross, but this book crossed the line. Just too creepy and too gross. I also found it difficult to follow, and kind of nonsensical at points. "
— Lain, 1/18/2014" Sort of disturbing with the pedophile references, but once you get past all that...the book is a very good suspense thriller that ends up being worth reading. "
— T., 1/18/2014" Interesting. A couple twists that were surprises. "
— Sidnie, 1/17/2014" Very good, one I would recommend - unless you have a phobia about spiders ... then it will likely disturb your sleep! "
— Gretchen, 1/4/2014" Classic Lisa Gardner! With a real "ick" factor built in. Even when you can guess what is going to happen next, it still makes you jump. "
— Karen, 11/24/2013" I did not care for the subject matter-- abuse of children, serial killers with an affinity for spiders is way too creepy! "
— Beve, 11/22/2013" A good murder mystery that keeps you guessing. I didn't realize this is the 6th in a series. "
— Donna, 11/15/2013" Great read. Really liked the book and moved along quickly. "
— Sandy, 11/11/2013" Difficult subject matter but handled well. As usual an excellent mystery with some amazing plot twists. "
— Jamie, 8/8/2013" As usual, Lisa Gardner's thrillers are tightly written and taut with suspense.I could not put this one down. Some of the more graphic violence may not be for everyone. "
— Corky, 7/8/2013" Reads like the last of the Quincy/Rainie/Kimberly books. If so, not the best end; but certainly not the worst. "
— Lesli, 1/26/2013" Never was scared of spiders, now I'm not so sure anymore.. "
— Corien, 11/20/2012" Ehhh....not my favorite book. "
— Emmy's, 10/28/2012" I actually found very little to enjoy about this book besides the end - yuck. "
— Melissa, 4/10/2012" Good book...great book. Read the last half last night till the wee hours of the morning! "
— Kristin, 3/24/2012" Very disturbing story, but written well as always. "
— Claraann, 3/14/2012" I sure hope Lisa Gardner continues to write the Quincy/Rainie series...I am going to miss them! "
— Diane, 1/26/2012" Pretty disturbing and gruesome, but this audiobook kept me awake on my commute! "
— Becky, 10/26/2011" A disturbing book, but one that I couldn't put down. As always, Lisa draws you in and doesn't let go until the eerie end. "
— Cindy, 9/28/2011" This book was kind of hard to follow in the way it skipped back and forth from Kimberly to Rita to the Man. It all came together in the end but at times I was lost. "
— Kristi, 8/31/2011" Not bad - like the connection with the Neighbor. Will def read more "
— Caroline, 7/6/2011" Creepy, creepy, creepy, creepy. I actually quite liked the book, but did predict a certain relationship. The spider facts on the beginning of every chapter freeeeaked me out. I got creepy crawling feelings the whole time I was listening but had to get to the end. "
— Erin, 5/18/2011" Good story, but too much detail on the sick behavior of a sexual predator. "
— Terry, 5/12/2011" Really good book. Not recommended if you get creeped out by spiders (like me, but i suffered through). Seriously twisted plot. *shiver* "
— Mckenzie, 5/2/2011" Loved this book. But, I don't like spiders and this book had a significant arachnid backdrop. "
— Jill, 4/21/2011" This is by far my favorite Lisa Gardner book. Although the subject matter and the language are intense, the story itsself was terrifying. "
— Penny, 4/15/2011" Strange book. If you are an arachnophobe (sp?) you may not want to read it. "
— Connie, 4/11/2011" I figured out the vilain about half way through. Edge of the seat thrills. The ending was very unexpected, but I liked it!! "
