What if instead of revealing the whole truth to authorities, a witness to murder contemplates using the information as expensive leverage. This is the precarious position a young caregiver, Ruby Johnson, considers after an elite socialite in a familiar neighborhood is shot and left for dead. What will happen when Ruby’s fears of poverty far surpass her fear of a known killer?
Eddie Flynn returns as a streetwise defense attorney who wholeheartedly believes in his client’s innocence. He and his colleagues may have to get super creative to prove that to a jury who hears testimony to the contrary.
He sets ‘em up to knock ‘em down, you simply can’t go wrong with Cavanagh! I love how he blends sharp wit and a zig-zagging story line . . . buckle up buttercup or you’ll get whiplash during those finale twists.
I highly recommend this novel to those who enjoy clever cat and mouse type antics, zippy dialogue, or thrilling crime and courtroom dramas.
I thank NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of Witness 8 for my unbiased evaluation. 5 stars
