Review of The Witness

(The Witness was provided to me free of charge by Mind and Media, who received it from the publisher for the purpose of being reviewed.)



When I was packing for a weekend getaway with Kevin - no kids! - I knew that Dee Henderson's latest novel, The Witness would be the perfect book to bring along. I wasn't disappointed. Fast-paced, entertaining, and suspenseful, this book kept me hooked until I turned the last page.

The Witness is a romantic thriller about a woman named Amy who witnessed a violent murder. She goes into hiding to protect herself, her family, and the evidence she possesses. Her two sisters believe she is dead.

Fast-forward eight years. Her sisters have been thrust into the limelight and Amy knows that it won't be long until the people pursuing her are pursuing them. Amy is forced to make a decision regarding her own desire to remain hidden.

Throw into the mix a heroic, handsome chief of police and two homicide detectives, and you have the ingredients for a fun, thrilling read. I have enjoyed all of Ms. Henderson's books, and this one was no exception. If you like murder mysteries, thrillers, or romance novels, I highly recommend The Witness.
