About this audiobook
An International Thriller Writers Award finalist.
To Rebecca it was a brave decision that led to her freedom from domestic abuse. To Solomon it was the ultimate betrayal.
It’s been ten years since Rebecca’s testimony saw Solomon locked away. Enough time for the nightmares to recede, the nerves to relax; enough time to rebuild her life and put the past behind her.
Then one day a phone rings in her bedroom—but it’s not her phone. Solomon has been in her home, and has a very simple message for her: for each of the ten years he has spent in jail, Rebecca must witness a crime. And, to make matters worse, she has to choose the victims.
Fail to respond and you get hurt. Talk to the police and you die. Ready to play? You have sixty seconds to decide…
As the crimes grow more severe, the victims closer to home, Rebecca is forced to confront a past she had hoped was gone forever.

What our readers think
Readers find this title to be a mixed bag. Some reviewers had a hard time suspending disbelief and found the main character to be childish and self-centered. However, others loved the plot, characters, and narrator. The book kept the mystery going well and had some unexpected twists. While some found it to be a disappointment, overall it was an enjoyable read with an edge-of-your-seat ending.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Witness by Caroline Mitchell; (3 1/2*)A psychological thriller that was WAY better than I anticipated! I found it to be an intense read with plenty of twists and turns to keep this interested right through to the end.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This book was fairly predictable with slow pacing and mediocre characters. I read the first half and skimmed through the second half to see how it ended. I was expecting a twisty ending but there were no real surprises. I had guessed the big secret long before the big reveal. I received a free copy from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Excellent writing, but the domestic abuse story line beyond being deeply disturbing has been done way too many times and the twists do not suffice to make this one sufficiently different from all the others.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I hate to say, but I did not like this book at all.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really enjoyed this book. It has some unexpected twists.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The beginning was fantastic, then, well, I had a hard time suspending disbelief. I skipped from chapter 28 to chapter 67 and I didn’t miss much. Not my kind of suspense story, though I think the writer is talented. Like everything else you read in this era of misinformation: be sure to ask if the narrator is reliable.
