I loved the slower pace of this suspenseful read!
Fatal Witness engages readers as pottery artist Dani Bennett and K9 Officer Mark Lassiter work together to discover who murdered Dani’s parents over twenty years ago. The problem is, Dani doesn’t remember anything about the day her parents died. She has dissociative amnesia.
Faith is strung throughout the pages. It’s refreshing to read a story where the characters aren’t struggling with their faith or coming back to God. They lean into what they know to be true of God’s character.
There’s a huge cast of characters providing plenty of suspects to question! The true identity of the killer isn’t easily guessed. And is a surprising twist to the mystery. I loved Dani’s grandma Mae, a no-nonsense woman who adds humour and lightness to the situation.
There are new murders that happen that help Dani and Mark connect the dots. Often, they’re running from the unknown killer creating intense scenes. However, for the majority of the book, Dani and Mark work with the police department to figure out the mystery.
I quite enjoyed this book and haven’t read the first book in the series. I didn’t find it mattered to my reading experience.
I received an ecopy from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are my own.
