The Body In The Web

The 26th book in the award-winning Faith Fairchild Mysteries series.

Katherine Hall Page’s beloved amateur detective gets wrapped up in a Zoom-bombing scandal that sends her community into a tailspin ... just as a dead body is discovered.

The Body In The Web places Faith Fairchild in a situation familiar to many, as she joins the rest of the world in lockdown mode when reality flips in March 2020. As the pandemic spreads, Faith and her family readjust to life together in Aleford, Massachusetts. Her husband, Tom, continues his sermons from Zoom; their children, Ben, who's in college, and Amy, a high school senior, are doing remote learning at home.

Faith is happy to have her family under the same roof and grateful for her resilient community, friends, and neighbours in Aleford. Town halls remain lively and well-attended, despite residents joining from their living rooms. It is at one of these town halls that scandal breaks out. In the midst of a Zoom meeting, damaging images suddenly flash upon everyone’s screens. Claudia, local art teacher and Faith’s dear friend, is immediately recognised as the woman who has been targeted.

When Claudia is later discovered dead, Faith, with the help of her friends, journeys deep into the dark web to unravel the threads of Claudia’s mysterious history and shocking passing.
