Book Synopsis:

The stunning new thriller from the No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author

You thought no one saw you. You were wrong.

Leigh and her sister Callie are not bad people – but one night, more than two decades ago, they did something terrible. And the result was a childhood tarnished by secrets, broken by betrayal, devastated by violence.

Years later, Leigh has pushed that night from her mind and become a successful lawyer – but when she is forced to take on a new client against her will, her world begins to spiral out of control.

Because the client knows the truth about what happened twenty-three years ago. He knows what Leigh and Callie did. And unless they stop him, he’s going to tear their lives apart …

Just because you didn’t see the witness … doesn’t mean he wasn’t there.

My Review:

False Witness is another dark, gripping and emotional read from one of my favourite authors. It’s going to be a hard book to review as I don’t want to give anything away.

This books follows two sisters Callie and Leigh who on the surface seem very different to each other. One is a drug addict who steals drugs from her work to sell, the other is a successful lawyer. However they have a secret from childhood that they are desperate to keep hidden. The sisters were interesting characters as they were quite cruel and ruthless in their actions at times that I really didn’t like them. However at other times they surprised me with the love they obviously had for each other and I found myself feeling a bit sorry for them as their desperation to keep their secret hidden was almost palpable.

I thought this book was a very past paced, addictive read which I found very hard to put down. It is very dark in places which won’t be to everyone’s taste but I felt these moments were balanced with the emotional storyline which stopped it becoming too much. The atmosphere in the book slowly build as the book continues and there was lots of twists that kept me guessing until the end. I thought the covid references were an interesting inclusion and made the book seem more real which made the storyline a little more hard hitting.

If you are a fan of this author’s previous books then you will love this book as it is the author at her best.

Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Harper for my copy of this book.
