A Tangled Book Web Cynthia Gallant-Simpson

The old pink bookshop in a lovely historic house in Barnstable Village on Cape Cod has been renovated by the niece of the recently deceased uncle she never knew. Inheriting the shop convinced Libby Cobb Kavanagh to return to her home town after twenty years of living in Hastings, England where she owned a small bookshop. Soon after the successful open house and well-wishing townspeople have made Libby feel most welcome, things begin to happen that threaten to drive her away, never to return. Skeletons hidden in walls, the artwork of extraordinarily clever spiders that envelops the entire shop in gauzy gray webs, and old family feuds hardly herald in a promise of happy days back home again. Only the beginning of the horror to come. Books and spiders do not mix well. As this Cape Cod bookshop mystery unfolds we learn that genius and evil often go-mingle and in families with long held secrets and grudges not only do spiders weave tangled webs but also old secrets can create a stranglehold on generations to follow.
