Book Blurb
As a child, artist and potter Dani Bennett witnessed the brutal murder of her parents. With no memory of the incident or her true identity, she was forced to take on a new name and a new life, hidden away in Montana for the past 25 years.
Mae Richmond has spent the same stretch of time searching for her granddaughter, who went missing the night her daughter and son-in-law were murdered. Convinced the woman she saw in a pottery magazine feature is the woman she’s been searching for, she enlists the help of K-9 officer Mark Lassiter of Pearl Springs, Tennessee, who tracks Dani down.
Skeptical but curious, Dani sets out on a journey to uncover the secrets of her past and reclaim her true identity. But someone close to her is determined to keep the truth of what happened all those years ago hidden.
My Thoughts
Fatal Witness kept me guessing in the best of ways.
Bradley threw out several red herrings and tricked me into thinking that I knew who the bad guy was, and then she’d throw out another red herring that made me doubt myself. So when I made it to the end I was shocked by the reveal but it also made a lot of sense. In other words, the mystery was incredibly satisfying.
The romance was sweet. I loved watching Dani and Mark’s relationship develop. Mark is a swoonworthy hero who works hard to protect Dani while also respecting her decisions.
It was also nice to see Alex and Nathan again. I liked getting a chance to catch up with them without having them taking over the story.
Overall, Fatal Witness is a compelling supsense with a jaw-dropping conclusion.
