As a child, artist and potter Dani Bennett witnessed the
brutal murder of her parents. With no memory of the incident or her true
identity, she was forced to take on a new name and a new life, hidden away in
Montana for the past 25 years.
Mae Richmond has spent the same stretch of time
searching for her granddaughter, who went missing the night her daughter and
son-in-law were murdered. Convinced the woman she saw in a pottery magazine
feature is the woman she's been searching for, she enlists the help of K-9
officer Mark Lassiter of Pearl Springs, Tennessee, who tracks Dani down.
Skeptical but curious, Dani sets out on a journey
to uncover the secrets of her past and reclaim her true identity. But someone
close to her is determined to keep the truth of what happened all those years
ago hidden.
My
Thoughts:
Fatal
Witness by Patricia Bradley opens with a young girl
hiding in a closet than hearing gun shots. From this moment on, readers are
trying to guess what actually happened to her parents. Why were they shot? Who
killed her parents? Dani, the heroine, goes home to Pearl Springs, and try to
piece together the pieces of her memory from this fateful day. The plot
features many moments of bullets flying and questioning others to try to figure
out what happened. Of course, what is a romantic suspense novel without a touch
of romance. Dani and Mark, the hero cop, protects her and helps her figure out
her memories and maybe fall in love. It was nice to return to Pearl Spring and
see what Alex, the heroine from the first story, has been up to. While the plot
read like a suspense novel, there were moments that I personally, would like to
have had more suspense elements. Just enough more to keep me flipping through
the pages. Overall, Fatal Witness by Patricia Bradley was a predictable, yet
sometimes not as suspenseful as I would have liked it, with a hint of romance.
I received a complimentary copy of Fatal Witness by Patricia Bradley from
Revell Publishing, but the opinions stated are all my own.
My Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
Purchase Fatal Witness
