True Witness (Brodie Farrell Mysteries)

By Jo Bannister

Book Overview

A teenage boy is beaten to death on Dimmock's derelict pier. Detective Jack Deacon is convinced they have the murderer; he just needs a positive identification to lock him up for good. But the only witness is astronomer Daniel Hood, in his own way a man as determined as Jack. Compelling as the circumstantial evidence is against the suspected killer, Daniel cannot be certain that this was the man he saw from his window. Nothing anybody says - or does - can convince him to take the easy way out and implicate a man without satisfying his own conscience first. With the whole town baying for blood, the only person who understands is Brodie Farrell, who steps in to defend her friend. Using her uncanny knack for "finding things," perhaps she can unravel part of this mystery and ease Daniel's burden. . . A taut, compelling exploration of love and honor, True Witness is the exciting new crime novel featuring Brodie Farrell and Daniel Hood.

Compelling

The words compelling, thrilling, suspenseful, wonderful - are words that can apply to all of Jo Bannister's books. I think she is a wonderful author who draws you in by your heart strings and does not let you go until the last page has been read. Bannister is very accomplished at holding your interest with her words of description and guiding you thru the ranges of all the emotions. She is an author who gives her characters depth, frailty, strengths, faults - in other words the characters become very real to the reader and that is something that not many authors can do consistently. Jo Bannister is an author that shouldn't be passed by.
