"The Tangled Web" by Author J. P. Lane captivated my attention right at the onset. This mystery novel is chock full of intrigue and suspense starting with the murders of a group of people out on an innocent fishing expedition who just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.The main storyline takes place on a beautiful Caribbean Island with a corrupt government which facilitates the shipment of illegal drugs from Columbia. The author does a masterful job of connecting all the dots in this well-written mystery novel. In order to rid this majestic island of its crime, a few government ministers become vigilantes after their own lives have been threatened and decide to take the law into their own hands. Unbeknownst to them, there is a second assassination plot taking place on the same man at the same time, the Prime Minister himself.There are plenty of players involved to enjoyably add to the many twists and turns, suspense, and conspiracy that take place in this thrilling mystery novel. The main characters, Lauren Anderson, a reporter for the local daily newspaper, and wealthy business magnate, Logan Armstrong cross paths early on and are romantically drawn together despite all the subterfuge taking place. I like the fact that the author didn't overstate their attraction to each other and kept their romance secondary to the main assassination plot. I also like the cliffhanger at the end. This novel is an enjoyable read and I look forward to reading more books by this talented author!
