Customer Reviews

Another intriguing mystery from Amanda Stevens

This is one of the best, if not the best, mystery yet by Amanda Stevens. The story line captivates the reader's attention from beginning to end. I am anxiously awaiting the next two books in this trilogy.

An Engaging, Original Mystery

Amanda Stevens kicks off her "Gallagher Justice" trilogy with "The Littlest Witness," a strong tale of family, danger, and love. Thea Lockhart is on the run with her young daughter, with more than one reason to avoid the cops. She has created a new life for herself and her daughter in Chicago when a woman is killed in their building, and Detective John Gallagher enters their world. Gallagher insists her daughter could be a witness; Thea wants nothing more than to get him out of their lives. With danger from all sides, can Thea dare to put their lives in the hands of a man with the potential to destroy her?A nicely original story, Ms. Stevens' tale neatly avoids the clichés becoming too common in series romance. Hers is a tense, compelling story that should engage readers' sympathies from the start. Thea is the best kind of romance heroine, an admirably strong woman, willing to do anything to protect her child. I doubt most of us could be as tough in her position--her foresight with the fire escape was one detail that really caught my attention. Nearly all of moments involving her young daughter will touch your heart. As usual, Stevens keeps readers on their toes, and the ending is a nice out-of-nowhere surprise. Although paced slower than usual for a Stevens book, mainly due to the need to provide so much back story for the other two books in the trilogy, "The Littlest Witness" won't disappoint. With many plot threads left dangling, many will be anxiously waiting for next month's portion of the Gallagher saga, "Secret Admirer."

This book is awesome!

This book was so suspenseful I couldn't put it down! I can't wait to read the next two in this trilogy. I recommend this book to anyone who's in the mood for a good mystery.
