Publisher's summary

Four burglaries. Three assaults. One murder. Not the crime stats Police Chief Ethan Blackhawk envisions for his first two weeks on the job. Ethan uncovers a link to his past, an assassin who bested him five years ago and again hunts in his territory. He welcomes a second chance to capture the assassin...until he falls in love with the only witness. This time a failure to unmask the assassin may cost Ethan everything. Wielding a sharp knife, personal chef Serena Cahill dices vegetables and dishes dinner for clients. When she interrupts a crime in progress, Serena steps into the crosshairs of an international assassin. After a friend disappears and her business implodes, she joins forces with Ethan to trap a killer before he takes out the next target -- Serena.

I asked for a copy of this book and the review has been made on my own.

Amazing!

Fantastic story and characters. The twists kept me hooked from start to finish. The narrator did a fantastic job of bringing this story to life. I received a free review copy of this audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Very good narration and story

The story is excellent - great characters, great suspense, and lovely romance. The audio is very smooth and expressive. The depiction of Blackhawk's voice didn't quite fit for me at first, but I got used to it. I love this! I have listened to it 4 or 5 times now.

Disappointed in the person reader

I hate when the reader try’s to change their voice for every character, especially when it’s not consistent. I wish I had just read the book myself instead on listening to it. I enjoyed the story line.

Great Story

This was a great read/listen that kept me interested from start to finish! The narration was great and I can not wait for the next in the series. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Refreshingly Real

I enjoyed Witness. The story has everything I look for in a good listen. Believable Romance, good mystery and likable main characters. The narrator did a great job with the exception of the male leads voice. I definitely will be listening to more of Rebecca Deel’s books.

Well-written!

Mystery, sexual tension, masterfully put together. Rebecca Deel is a master at creating suspense.

Kristina Fuller Yuen brought the characters to life.

Great suspenseful mystery with a touch of romance!

This is a a great cozy mystery with interesting characters set in a small town. I don’t read many mysteries but this one had everything I enjoy in a cozy mystery. There was suspense, danger, humor, and a touch of romance. The story was engaging from beginning to conclusion.

Narration was excellent and brought the story to life. I enjoyed the distinctive voices for each character. It was a very enjoyable narration.

This is a very clean book with no alcohol, no bad language, no drugs, no sex, and the character that did drink too much trying to erase his pain was dealt with care. Overall a great well written story.

I’m looking forward to reading more books from this talented author.

Entertaining and Clean, Mystery with light romance

What made the experience of listening to Witness the most enjoyable?

This was a fun book to listen to. It's set in a small town with a new police chief. It has everything a well written mystery needs - a good build up, suspense and danger. The romance is a fun thread in the story although toward the end I felt it got a little on the sappy side, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. Witness is a great start to a series. The story finishes in such a way that you're not left on a cliff hanger but you can tell it's being set up for another book.

I love that it was a clean book free of language, sex, drugs. It's a book I can let my middle school age daughter listen to without any reservations.The narrator did a wonderful job. She was a pleasure to listen to and the voices of the different characters really helped draw the listener into the story.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Without giving the story away there were a couple scenes in the book where it showed strong women fighting back and what a great message it sends.
