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

This is the first book (excluding novellas or short stories) I read that integrates the COVID-19 pandemic into the plot. Candidly, I could have done without it, but entirely because of my own selfish escapism. The story DOES integrate other world-shaking and hard-hitting current events (#MeToo, BLM, 1/6 Insurrection, etc.) that bring the story to life in an almost tangible way — but, obviously these events largely coincide with COVID-19. Can't have those without the other. And, it works... covid is a secondary backdrop, not a main character.
However, debilitating addiction, extremely disturbing violence, and severe child abuse are central throughout the book. It's excruciating, heartbreaking, and very raw. This is not a book I'd recommend to everyone. It's triggering... and, not exactly empowering.
This may be the first book by Slaughter that I didn't give 5 stars across the board... something about it that just didn't click. The two main women in the story are phenomenal... and yet, there's a naivety to one that doesn't resonate or seem fair for her character. At times, it was distracting and left me wanting more for her... either more credit or more explanation as to why she had certain blindspots that just didn't jive with her otherwise powerhouse character. Not to say that strong and powerful women don't have blindspots... but, this one (I'll say "maternal") didn't work for her.
So, False Witness was not my favorite... but, I'll still pre-order Karin Slaughter's next book as well.
The story may be fiction, but False Witness hits hard with reality
