Do not pass this book up!!!! Not only is this book a MUST read, it MUST be on your shelf at home! Once again, Rebecca Forster has captivated her audience with an intricate attention to detail, perfection in development of characters and essential qualities in a plot making this novel a riveting legal thriller.
Silent Witness is the second addition to Forster's series, and this incredible page turning novel will keep you in suspense with surprising twists in the plot; you can not help b
From The Critics
Sequels not as good as the original? Well, here's a case that sometimes they can be just as good if not better. I found Silent Witness to be slow in the beginning, as the characters and puzzle pieces were introduced, but once the action started.... let's just say I had to cancel a date and she wasn't happy. The shocking sucker-punch ending is better than anything Mickey Spillane, the king of shocker endings, ever cooked up, and the ramifications of such a revelation are discussed with an no-hold

    Just OK!

    I bought four of Rebecca Forster's ebooks at the same time and this was my third to read. The story was ok, a little slow in the middle, but wrapped up nicely at the end. However, the numerous grammar/spelling/editing errors totally distracted me from the story (famines instead of families, come on!). I will read the fourth one, Privileged Witness, but I will not buy any more books by this author due to the many errors. --K--

    "Silent" Sequel "Screams" Success!

    Ms. Forster has done it again. Totally captivating story and blend of characters, both old and new. Just when you think you have figured it out, it twists and turns another direction. Josie, Archer, Hannah---the gang's all there but they come with new friends and foes, complications, successes, pain and emotions and then she throws in the intrigue of a Theme Park, setting the scene with the joys of the young at heart and the horror of something that can go terribly wrong. Read this book. You will not be disappointed and you will do as I did---ordered the rest of the Thriller Series! There are many talented writers out there in the world. Rebecca Forster is at the top of that list. Treat yourself to her books and see for yourself. I am glad I did!

    This is a MUST read!

    I have read all four of the "Witness" books and would actually recommend reading all of them. I connected with the characters and didn't want to put any of these books down. I am anxiously awaiting to read Book 5 when it is released.

    I must recommend this!

    I was hoping Ms. Forster would continue the characters and it was great visiting again with Josie and Archer and the enigmatic Hannah. The story was fast paced and gripping and it made a weekend in the sun even better.

    Not Any Better

    This wasn't any better than the first by this author (I bought all 3 on the same day . . . so I'm going to read them all!). I still didn't care for the main character, and the spelling and grammar were even worse!

    Great Read

    This book was great... I was surprised at how quickly it got started and how interesting it was. I was also surprised at all the spelling and punctuation errors! What happened to the editor? However, great book, and I have downloaded another in the series and can't wait to get started!

    Fantastic Legal Thriller!

    What a blockbuster of a novel! This is a page turner from beginning to end, with a real surpise twist at the end. This author's knowledge of legal and courtroom procedure comes through loud and clear and makes for a well written, fast paced story. The characters seem real, the dialogue just flows. Don't miss this triumph from such a talented author!

    Engaging, Suspenseful, and Totally Fun to Read

    Silent Witness builds beautifully on its forerunner, Hostile Witness. Josie, Archer, Jude, and Hannah are each engaging characters caught up in a serious amount of trouble. Everyone has an 'agenda.' And yet each has that interdependency that weaves their fortunes together in ways that are both fascinating and suspenseful. The plot pulls us quickly through a series of discoveries that really do not stop until the final surprising outcome. Who knew?

    excellent legal procedural

    Defense attorney Josie Baylor-Bates has taken troubled teen Hannah into her home after the girl¿s mother was found guilty of murder. While the two females adjust, Josie¿s lover, retired detective and practicing private investigator Archer is arrested for killing his mentally challenged stepson Tim two years ago in the Pacific Park amusement park while they and his dying wife rode the Shock and Pop together.--- A video shows Archer making what could be a threatening move towards Tim. Ironically, Tim¿s biological father bailed Archer out of prison because he needs the truth to support his civil suit against Pacific Park. Evidence at the preliminary hearing binds Arch for trial; Josie needs a miracle to prove her lover is innocent of first degree murder.--- Rebecca Forster¿s latest legal procedural is a thrilling courtroom and investigative drama in which Josie has doubts that she should represent her lover as she is too personally involved, but refuses to trust anyone else with his life. She also learns more than she ever wants to know about Archer in the course of her efforts to defend him. The investigative scenes are fascinating as Josie gathers evidence from witnesses that she uses at the trial to make the case that Archer had no motive to kill the child of the woman he loved. SILENT WITNESS is totally enthralling.--- Harriet Klausner
