Review of Dee Henderson's The Witness

Amanda Griffin witnessed a gruesome crime, and then disappeared. She had to let her family think she was dead. To see them or let them know she’d survived would endanger their lives.

Luke Granger, deputy chief of police, found her years later after she’d seen what happened to her coworkers who only knew her by her most recent alias. Someone was after her and didn’t mind leaving a trail of death to mark his journey. She went back into hiding but left Luke with the impression that they’d meet again.

Amanda’s sisters found a spotlight thrust upon them when they inherited millions from a surprising source. Luke wanted to tell them that Amanda was alive, but he had to wait for the right moment, the right security.

Getting to know Luke and his officers was a pleasure. I always enjoy the romance more than anything, but there was plenty of suspense to keep me riveted. I’m the kind that tries to figure out who the killer is before he’s revealed in the pages, but Dee Henderson makes that difficult. I’ve been hooked on her books since Danger in the Shadows.

I recommend this romantic suspense with all its dark alley turns and life-threatening twists.
