By Marion Collins. Gotta love the extra explanation on the front, juuuuust in case anyone still thinks the book is about spiders. It ain't, obv -- it's about Julia "Lynn" Turner, who "had a thing for men in uniform -- and for their money." And apparently for poisoning the former to get the latter.
This is a well loved but serviceable paperback whose cracked spine and shelfwear don't mean it's not a decent reading copy.
