WIDOW'S WEB Gene Lyons 9780671641856 Books

Gene Lyons brings his journalistic talent to life in Widow's Web taking this intricate and intriguing story with mingled plots and sub-plots with so many characters into a story style readers will understand.

Published in 1993, most of the characters were living and agreed to Lyon's interviews making this a first-hand story.

Lauded as the "greatest criminal drama in Southern history," this "Twin Peaks" saga of an "alluring seductress, murder, sexual intrigue" intertwined with political and legal corruption gripped the state of Aransas as unethical media reports ensnared its readers into frenzies over the whodunit murder of Alice McArthur, the wife of prominent criminal lawyer, William McArthur.

The saga began back on March 12, 1981, when the North Little Rock police received the 911 call, "I just found my husband... . He's covered in blood."

Mary Lee Orsini becomes the hub in the death of her husband, Ron Orsini and one of the grandest of tale spinners in the good 'ole boys state. Acquitted of murder charges, Orsini hires McArthur to handle her financial affairs...thus begins Part 11 of this story catapulting to July 2, 1982, when Yankee Hall, an acquaintance of Orsini with Larry McClendon drive to 24 Inverness Circle in Pleasant Valley, the home of Bill and Alice McArthur and blow her brains out with a .38-caliber Smith & Wesson.

Alice had survived a car bomb back on May 21, 1982. Authorities assumed the attempt was against McArthur and by July, Alice had let her guard down. Her paranoia subsided to live life. When McClendon stood on her doorstep with a bouquet of flowers, she didn't suspect her life in danger until she looked into the man's eyes and knew why he was there.

First on the scene were Tommy Robinson's sheriffs. The question is why? They were out of jurisdiction and later would come under suspicion of altering the crime scene. Sub-plot, Sheriff Robinson hated McArthur and for three years did everything in his legal and unethical power to pin the murder on McArthur. Reading Robinson's escapades puts fear into a potential Arkansas resident.

The extraordinary mystery — unsolved to date — is the flower bouquet. Any reader able to solve this part of the case would truly solve the McArthur murder, the who was behind Hall and McClendon. Media reports convenience Arkansas readers it was Orsini and William McArthur enmeshed in a torrid love affair and Alice was in the way...and very rich.

Cops found no evidence of this accusation and legal peers found the accusations unfounded. The power of words in an easily persuaded population...

Well written, Lyons does an excellent job telling this infamous story. Good to have, the Cast of Characters listed in the front of the book. Readers will often refer to this listing as they encounter a host of characters. In his Epilogue, Lyons updated character information — 1993 — giving some closure for readers.

Better than a major crime writers novel, Widow's Web will keep readers turning pages and shaking heads at the incredible orgy of corruption as his story unfolds this real-life Arkansas drama.

Recommended to target audience.

WIDOW'S WEB Gene Lyons 9780671641856 Books Reviews

I was looking for this story and Gene Lyons covered it beautifully.
Pretty good book. Would recommend.
Too long winded. Got boring by the 3rd chapter.
Very interesting read...hard to put down
Very interesting story. Oh what a web they weaved!
Good read... provides a blow by blow on everything from Ron Orsini's murder to the end result of everyone involved.
More than just a True crime double murders tome, 444 pages of even more crimes committed by a horribly corrupt coterie of dozens of lawyers, judges, and prosecutors, to make your blood boil.

This is a real tough slog with little sensationalism, and one of the most worthy True Crime books that screams for Serialization by one of the net streamers doing original productions. It would be the only way to get this story into wider circulation to inform many millions of the appalling condition of the Lawlessness within the Law.
"There are more crimes committed in and around the courthouse, by judges, lawyers, and juries, than all of our mean streets"

Lyons' painstaking obsession must have cost him years of dedication.

The miscreants in the Arkansas media give a close up view of the manipulation you see today in the NY X and others of controlling public opinion, not just influencing. This book should make every one who seeks fairness, truth, and some semblance of justice angry as hell, and realize once and for all that ALL media is to be trusted as you would your nubile 16 yr old daughter with the keys to the Thunderbird, the liquor cabinet and the credit cards while you're out of town for a few weeks.
