By A Spider's Thread
by Laura Lippman

I don't know where the title came from but this was certainly another provocative suspense mystery by her. The story was about an Orthodox Jewish man's missing wife who had been deceiving him for many years just waiting for her lover to be released from prison. Some the Jewish rules were wrong but the basic understandings were there. The man was a furrier with three children. His wife takes off with her lover and the kids almost ended up dead along with her husband. (Linda Emond, narrator)
