False Witness

A Novel

De: Karin Slaughter

Narrado por: Kathleen Early

He saw what you did.

He knows who you are....

From the New York Times best-selling author of Pieces of Her and The Silent Wife, an electrifying stand-alone thriller.

An ordinary life...

Leigh Collier has worked hard to build what looks like a normal life. She has a good job as a defense attorney, a daughter doing well in school, and even her divorce is relatively civilized - her life is just as unremarkable as she’d always hoped it would be.

...hides a devastating past...

But Leigh’s ordinary life masks a childhood that was far from average...a childhood tarnished by secrets, broken by betrayal, and finally torn apart by a devastating act of violence.

...but now the past is catching up...

Then a case lands on her desk - defending a wealthy man accused of rape. It’s the highest profile case she’s ever been given - a case that could transform her career, if she wins. But when she meets the accused, she realizes that it’s no coincidence that he’s chosen her as his attorney. She knows him. And he knows her. More to the point, he knows what happened 20 years ago and why Leigh has spent two decades running.

...and time is running out.

If she can’t get him acquitted, she’ll lose much more than the case. The only person who can help her is her estranged younger sister Callie, the last person Leigh would ever want to ask for help. But suddenly she has no choice....

ONE OF HER BEST

I always buy Karin Slaughter's books the day that they are released. This may be my favorite, so far.

The Beat of the Best

This was my favorite book by Karen Slaughter.
I cried through so many parts of how the love between these sisters was portrayed.
I couldn’t stop listening to it and the story was so much a part of where and what I come from.
Thank you Karen for letting me feel emotional again as I sit here sobbing.
I will be fine . Just keep writing about what life is really about for some.

Couldn't wait!

I couldn't wait for my pre-order to release! it did not disappoint! I had to literally make myself turn it off for bed, and didn't even have coffee the next morning before starting up.

Excellent as always! major CW for pedophilia

love slaughter's stand alone novels and adore Kathleen Early's narration. The graphic childhood sex abuse depictions are rough but Slaughter does the survivor experience justice. the characters were beautifully developed and contain such depth. I couldn't stop listening!

Best one EVER!

First this is a very Graphic Novel; Therefore if you can't handle it then move on. This is THE BEST Slaughter novel ever!!!! Holy Crap I couldn't stop listening. What was going to happen next? There were so many twists and turns. One surprise after another. Kathleen Early is the best narrator to ever grace these pages. WOWZER!!!!
