Fatal Witness by Patricia Bradley is the second book in her Pearl River series. At the age of nine Dani Bennett witnessed the murder of her parents, but she has no memory of it. Someone wants to keep it that way. When Dani becomes a target, K-9 Officer Mark Lassiter makes it his mission to keep her safe. This was a very intense, suspense filled story. The characters worked well together and the story flowed smoothly. I received this book from the publisher for my honest review.

"Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in you." These words from Psalm 56:3 are often quoted in Fatal Witness and author Patricia Bradley couldn't have chosen a better verse for this riveting tale of murder, memory loss, and a killer's efforts to make sure that those lost memories are kept buried forever. There is heart-pounding danger and nail-biting suspense, along with fear and a need for trust! I was fully engaged from the very first pages of Fatal Witness! If you're looking for an intense thriller that you can't put down, grab a copy of Final Witness. I couldn't wait to learn the truth, but I didn't want it to end! Very deserving of being more than a 5-star read!! I received a copy from the author and publisher. There was no obligation for a positive review.

Patricia Bradley had me hooked by the end of the first paragraph. Danielle Bennett AKA Dani Collins had a nine-year hole in her memory. A hole that included anyone she had known and loved during the first nine years of her life other than her Uncle Keith. Now circumstances were lining up to pull her into that hole, and into a killer's sights. Once again Bradley has woven a tale of mystery and suspense with plenty of clues and misdirection. Fatal Witness is a book that won't easily be laid aside. While the story includes a touch of romance, it does not overshadow the suspense. While readers may consider the correct character in the role of villain, it is doubtful they will feel confident in that prediction until almost the very end. Bradley shows herself to be a master of the plot twist, and in doing so brings hours of reading pleasure. I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy of Fatal Witness from Revell via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.

This book is amazing as it follows the story of Dani Bennett whose parents were murdered when she was just a young child. Ripped away from her familiar surroundings by her Uncle Keith, she has been working as an artist in the badlands of Montana when she begins to get curious about her partial memories that keep surfacing. Returning to the little town of Pearl Springs, TN, Dani finds her grandmother and a protector named Mark Lassiter. She didn’t even know she needed protection until multiple attempts are made on her life. This book has riveting suspense and characters who are relatable with complicated personalities. This well-crafted story is totally addictive, with its non-stop action and its sensitive exploration of trauma as well as the way Dani’s lost memory is teasingly revealed slowly. This is a cleverly written page turner with a fast pace, tight plot and good chemistry between the characters. Fans of romantic suspense will love this book as it is one I could not put down! All opinions expressed are my own.

“Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in you.” Dani Collins knows only the past her Uncle Keith has told her, which is next to nothing. She has no memory of the parents who died when she was nine. Mae Richmond has been searching for her granddaughter for 25 years. She suspects the picture in a magazine article on pottery holds the clue to an age old mystery. When K-9 officer Mark Lassiter tries to unite the two, things begin to happen-dangerous things. Mark is a worthy hero who is kind, compassionate and godly. “Being a Christian does not mean we won’t encounter bad things. I have learned that the bad things that come my way make me depend on God more.” Dani, although somewhat sheltered, is strong, intelligent and on her own spiritual journey, Filled with a complicated mystery, elusive villains, and dramatic scenes, this story doesn’t wind down until the final pages. * I received a complimentary copy of this book from Revell on behalf of the author.

If the wrong people see it, there will be problems. Dani Collins experienced the trauma of her parents being murdered when she was 9 years old and still has amnesia 25 years later. She has become a very successful ceramic artist making the cover of Pottery Making Illustrated. However, she wants no pictures of herself - just to be safe. But what happened in the past that causes such fear? What did she witness? This story will keep you on the edge of your seat and may even cost you a few fingernails. Will Dani survive to finally remember? This well written mystery will keep you guessing right up to the rather unexpected end. An early copy of Pearl River #2 was received through Revell Books, Baker Publishing Group and NetGalley. These impressions are my own and were in no way solicited.

This is the second book in the Pearl River series, but they can stand alone, there are recurring characters. This is a sad story, of a young woman whom is finally reunited with her Grandmother after 25 years, I can't imagine, but this was to keep her safe. There are a few people in this story whom have embraced evil, and it seems everyone is expendable, but my mind kept changing as to whom the culprit was. There are big bomb shells dropped and surprises, yes, I really didn't guess whom the was the guilty party, and I was saddened. This is a page turner, I needed answers, but we are gifted with some sweet romance along ducking bullets! I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Revell, and was not required to give a positive review.
