After 6 years of serving time it's time for Kate to find out the truth. Did she do it? Did she really kill her best friend? To find out she'll need help from PI Madison. Will the truth help her Kate, or just make her life worse? I Witness is a refreshing crime-thriller that'll keep you guessing...will you see it coming, because I didn't.

I remember being engaged while reading the book, but now that it is a few days later I don't remember much of the book without reading other reviews to refresh my memory, so apparently this book was enjoyable, but forgettable.

I enjoyed this book the story was told by several characters each having a chapter at a time, I enjoyed the twists and was not expecting the end.

Sizzling psychological thriller written expertly in multiple voices. Fantastic first book in what I hope will be a successful series featuring PI Madison Attallee.

Loved this from the minute I opened the front cover. It's a gripping whodunnit that will get your cogs turning straight away.
It's a thrilling psychological read. There's something alluring about flawed characters that I can't quite put my finger on, but they suck me right in every time!
The layers of dysfunctional families involved in this tale, really helps set the plot and keep it moving at a fast pace.

I wanted to love this one, but sadly I couldn’t get into it! Solid writing, and a great premise, but it left me feeling a little flat! I figured out the stuff early on, but kept reading to see how it was all going to unfold! If you are new to the genre, enjoy domestic noir etc, then I would definitely recommend it!

What I liked
* Multiple narrators. Oh yes, I love books that are written in this style. I've always found myself totally gripped when the story is told by multiple narrators and when the chapters alternate between different characters points of view. This book does that exceptionally well.
* Easy read. This is the type of book that just seems to fly by. It's such an easy read, using shortish chapters, lots of dialogue and I found the novel to be a very easy to pick up, anytime, anywhere. It was always easy to get back into the story.
* Fast pace. Although the story isn't necessarily filled with tons of action, it does move along at a good pace. I never felt bored. It was a book that made me want to get into bed at night and read.
What I didn't like
* For some reason I never found myself truly and deeply invested in the characters or the story. It felt a little superficial to me, and I never really found myself "inside" this story.
* Far-fetched. Certain elements in this story were too far fetched to be believable. I don't want to mention specifics at this point for fear of giving anything away, but yes, I couldn't get behind all of the things that had transpired by the end.
Final thoughts
This was a good, quick, easy and entertaining read that I liked. It would make a good holiday read when you just want to be able to pick up a book and escape for a while.
