Chronicle Concering Books The Witness
Daughter of a controlling mother, Elizabeth finally let loose one night, drinking at a nightclub and allowing a strange man's seductive Russian accent lure her to a house on Lake Shore Drive. The events that followed changed her life forever. Twelve years later, the woman known as Abigail Lowery lives on the outskirts of a small town in the Ozarks. A freelance programmer, she designs sophisticated security systems -- and supplements her own security with a fierce dog and an assortment of firearms. She keeps to herself, saying little, revealing nothing. But Abigail's reserve only intrigues police chief Brooks Gleason. Her logical mind, her secretive nature, and her unromantic viewpoints leave him fascinated but frustrated. He suspects that Abigail needs protection from something -- and that her elaborate defenses hide a story that must be revealed. With a quirky, unforgettable heroine and a pulse-pounding plotline, Nora Roberts presents a riveting new read that cements her place as today's most reliably entertaining thriller -- and will leave people hungering for more.Rating Of Books The Witness

4 stars (seriously leaning towards 5 stars)Well, well, well What a pleasant surprise! Im new to Nora Roberts and, to tell you the truth, I didnt expect too much. I mean, my neighbor was reading her books while I was crying over Bambis mom.Well I was wrong.Everything was kick ass good, though the heroine outshone everybody and everything. Shes one badass chick and I want to be her best friend. One of my most favorite heroines ever. QUICK REVIEW:Enjoyment: 4.5/5Writing style: 4/5Storyline: 5/5While this book took a loooong time to get set up, even the setup part was really good. Elizabeth rebels against her robot Mom (she's not really a robot, but the lady doesn't hug, wear color, or do anything without a schedule) when she's sixteen. That's what teenagers do, and even though Liz is a bit of a mini-robot, she's still a teenager girl who wants to live her own life, not the one her 'mother' picks for her. This one decision leads to the witnessing of a horrible crime committed by a
Reviewed on 05/15/12: So glad I decided to read this right away instead of putting on the shelf and waiting a few weeks! As before stated, I am turning into a NR junkie, this being my third NR book in a row, and I think I'm just gonna keep on going since I got all the MacKade books on nook for a good deal. Anyway, if you've ever read any of NR suspense books, such as Angels Fall or Northern Lights or Blue Smoke and liked them, I think this one will be right up your alley. It's my new favorite NR
DNF for me. I loved the first 25% where the young Elizabeth breaks free from her controlling mother and witnesses a murder.The next section shows her 12 years later, living a life in hiding. This is where the story fell apart for me. 1. After 2-3 brief conversations, Elizabeth, a recluse who avoids all human contact, and Brooks, a police chief on duty, engage in bold banter about whether to have sex or not. I felt this was totally out of character and unrealistic.2. In the next scene, we get the
Nora Roberts is BACK!! OK, I know many of you didnt realize she left, but over the last few years her newer books have not cut it for me. I found several of her latest stories full of filler and irrelevant content, and the core stories suffered as a result. But in The Witness the story was tight, the characters interesting, the romance swoon worthy, and the suspense totally believable. Everything tied together, just like a great story should!I never thought romance suspense was Ms Roberts
Fantastic read featuring one of the best heroines I have seen in a long time. She was so smart and capable, it was fun to see her try to understand how to deal with the friendly people in her new hometown. The hero was such a great personality, he was funny and easy going but had endless patience to get through all of Abigail/Liz's barriers (which she had very good reasons for having). I enjoyed all of this book, parts were very suspenseful and other parts were funny and engaging. Nora Roberts
5 stars just because I became so engrossed that I burned the chicken and had to order pizza! This was classic Nora Roberts.Quick summary --- Liz witnesses a double murder, gets put in protective custody, her safety is compromised and she runs for 12 years. She settles in a small town and Brooks, the local chief of police, and her become involved. :) Abigail (what Liz is know as now) learns that being alive is not the same as having a life. She finds a man (Brooks) who loves her even after he
