As Olivier grows more frantic, a trail of clues and treasures from first editions of Charlottes Web and Jane Eyre to a spider web with the word WOE woven in itlead the Chief Inspector deep into the woods and across the continent in search of the truth, and finally back to Three Pines as the little village braces for the truth and the final, brutal telling.
