Overall pretty good, though there were a couple of technical/plot oddities that a good editor would have caught. I’m sure I’ll read the second one.

Basic but solid mystery that entertains but requires the reader to ask no questions of the plot or character actions.

I won’t rehash the plot of this book as there are so many thousands of reviews already. ‘The Secret Witness’ is the first book of Victor Methos’ that I’ve read. I did feel a bit confused in the first bit of the book, almost like I’d been dropped into a storyline part way through. Like maybe the main characters of Elizabeth Gray and Solomon Shepard had been in previous books and this was a continuation of their storyline. I was also a bit confused with the character of Solomon. He states that his former jobs include a social worker in prison and obviously a prosecutor, it he also refers to a lot of psychology stuff including writing a book about killers, so then I thought maybe he also had a psychology degree? I don’t know, either he’s very old and had a few jobs or he’s an intellectual that thrives on learning. I didn’t like the sub-plot with his neighbour, I thought it didn’t add to the overal storyline and the conclusion of it was dreadful.
Anyway, overall this was a ok read. I didn’t love it but nor did I dislike it. Sometimes it felt like a legal procedural and other times it didn’t. 3 stars from me.
