Last Witness

A haunting, intricate tale, shot through with authenticity and humanity. A story that lingers. * JOHN SUTHERLAND *An engrossing read with characters with real heart, this is a sophisticated crime thriller that also offers a careful rendering of manipulation in the criminal justice system. Highly recommended. * Lisa Ballantyne *I’ve just finished Lucie Whitehouse’s Last Witness, which is exactly what great crime fiction should be: smart, twisty, shocking and compassionate * SARAH HILARY *Gritty and uncompromising, yet brimming with compassion and heart, the tension never lets up in this twisting tale of fear, revenge, and the brutal cost of speaking out against injustice. An absolute masterclass in plotting, but it’s the characters who truly elevate this series. * Caroline Frear *
