Summary
Forensic entomologist Dr Vanessa Marwood has built her career on her love of insects and the vital evidence they provide at the scene of a crime. This doesn't mean she's ready for a killer who has woven spider silk into their victims' wounds.

But that's exactly what's in store for Vanessa when she receives a call from an old friend to come back to her childhood home of Greensands and help solve a chilling set of murders. Now she must put her move to New York on hold and return to a place she swore she would not.

It's not long before Vanessa realises, she's been lured into a dangerous trap by an insect obsessed killer.

The case and dark secrets from her childhood are drawing her deeper and deeper into an entangled web of secrets and lies.

Can she solve the case or will the past close in on her?

Such a great story so atypical of these murder /crime fictions that can be quite formulaic. a likeable but not soppy lead with some quite interesting twists and turns along the way really enjoyed it

This was my monthly VIP book, so I knew practically nothing about this book going into it, and I had never read any of Tracy Buchanan’s works. That said, it is always a very pleasant surprise when I pick a VIP book I not only like, but it makes me want to read the rest of the books. I enjoyed the characters, Vanessa was a refreshing protagonist, and I found myself saddened by the loss of a side character that I wouldn’t have expected to feel. The forensic entomology aspect of the novel was fascinating, the mystery was played out in a way that I had ideas of where it was going, but I never could fully pinpoint exactly who the murderer was. The narrator also had a soothing voice that added to the book. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the book and have already recommended it to others.

it was intriguing and I loved the subject matter, not your typical topic and a good twist at the end.

Very niche subject. Less of a thriller book with an insect subplot and more of an insect book with a thriller subplot. It was overkill imo and made it hard to stay invested.

Excellent read. The twists and turns kept me wanting answers, so it was hard to put down, especially in the last few chapters.
