The Witness is a romantic suspense novel. Nora Roberts wrote this one expertly. Her romance novels with suspense and sometimes mystery is really special. You must try out her The Choice novel which will be so much special. Another worth sharing book by the same author here is The Right Path.
Julia Whelan did the honors of narrating The Witness novel and she did that quite brilliantly with a subtle tone and excellent expression.
Elizabeth Fitch was a daughter of a controlling, cold mother and an anonymous donor. She was quite obedient and studious and let loose one night after consuming a lot of alcohol in a nightclub. That allowed a stranger with a seductive Russian accent to lure her to Lake Shore Drive into a house.
The woman was known as Abigail Lowery after 12 years and was living in the outskirts of Ozarks town all alone. She was a freelance security systems designer. But when it comes to her protection, she was relying on a fierce dog along with a few firearms. She was used to keeping things to herself and would reveal very little. But that unfortunately looked to be the fastest way for gaining attention in that small southern town.
Soon she got the attention of Brooks Gleason who was the local police chief. He suspected that Abigail needed some protection. Abigail on the other side who built her life on self-control and security was at a high risk of losing both.
This is the 200th novel of Nora Roberts, the number one bestselling writer in NYT. She proved in this book why no other author is better when it comes to fusing the red hot romance with high-stakes suspense flawlessly.
