Shadowed Witness Review







About the Book

Murder--that's what photographer Allye Jessup knows she witnessed as she departed her studio one evening. Waking with bruises on her neck and a foggy memory, she believes she survived an attack, but everyone seems to think she simply sustained a head injury from falling down the stairs of her studio. Plagued by an undiagnosed health condition, she is torn between the haunting reality of what she may have seen and the possibility that her mind is playing tricks on her.

Without proof the other victim ever existed, Detective Eric Thornton can hardly declare the area a murder scene. Still, he adds Allye's report to his already full caseload. But when new evidence surfaces to support her claims, Eric must stay one step ahead of a ruthless killer and uncover the truth before the suspect closes in on Allye again.

Angela Carlisle once again presents cutting-edge romantic suspense laced with danger, deception, and justice. (Goodreads) 








My Thoughts



This story starts with a bang and captured my attention from the first page. This is my first book to read by this author and it did not disappoint! There is an interesting twist to this plot that has to do with the main character that I was not expecting. But the mystery side of it was pretty predictable, as the clues made things fairly obvious. BUT it was still fun to see how it all played out and I really enjoyed reading how Eric and Allye solved the mystery. Allye is a photographer and the author did a great job portraying that point of view. It added to the story and helped me visualize the setting in a better way. Overall I really enjoyed this story. 

Four Stars.
