Book Review

Book Club  Review:

The Witness by Sandra Brown, a famous American writer of suspense novels, tells the story of a woman who can’t reveal her true identity. This book is an absorbing story with twists and turns.

Kendall Deaton is a well-known public defender in Prosper, a small town of South Carolina. She marries Matt Burnwood –a handsome and powerful man- expecting a beautiful life. But one day she becomes a witness to a horrifying execution. She is scared for herself and her baby. So she decides to escape, to live hidden far from her village and the criminals. Kendall Deaton is a brilliant, brave and strong-minded woman. She is an idealistic lawyer continuously looking for the Truth.

The story is a gripping plot well developed and well written. The characters are skillfully described and highly believable. Successfully, the writer manages to keep the reader in suspense and as confused as the characters seem to be. Gradually and slightly, Sandra Brown leads the reader to the Truth!

I was expecting The Witness to be a classical mystery book but, it turned out to be a compelling and exciting story.  Indeed, the suspense keeps the reader intrigued until the end! As far as I am concerned, I really enjoyed reading this book. For that reason, I won’t hesitate to recommend it!
