I, Witness by Niki Mackay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
If you like brisk, pacy thrillers with well developed characters, this is the book for you! I thought it was going to be a legal thriller (the title, the cover), but instead it’s an excellently spun crime thriller, so don’t let the packaging turn you off.
This was my favorite crime book I’ve read all year, and a lot of that is down to how much I liked the characters, all of whom I felt I could literally meet walking down the street.
Six years ago Kate was found holding her best friend Naomi’s body, covered in blood. She’s now served her time in prison and is out to prove her innocence. So she hires Madison, the hard-bitten, crusty PI, who was the first officer on the scene all those years ago.
With short, punchy chapter, a brisk pace, and realistic characters, this was an excellent crime novel I finished in just two days. I highly recommend.
