Summary: A legal thrill a minute
Review: One thing is immediately clear from page one of Hostile Witness: you're not going to do anything else until you finish this book.If you're a fan of legal thrillers, you've read enough to know when an author truly understands the law. Rebecca Forster not only understands how the law really works, in court and out, but she knows how to grip you with the dramatic details of it. Her main character, Josie Baylor-Bates, has tried to escape the hynoptic lure of courtroom battle, but she can't escape its powerful tug, and she takes us along on the harrowing ride. It's not easy to pinpoint the culprit in this thriller -- as soon as you reach that "Aha!" moment, the story spins in another unexpected direction. All of the characters in this book could become the star of their own novel. Fortunately we will get to see at least some of these folks again, thanks to the sneak peak of Silent Witness at the end of this book. Hopefully it won't be too long before it's available -- but if the wait seems intolerable, read this one again.

Summary: Rebecca Forster Has Done It Again !!!
Review: Some books are a good story. Other books are well-written. This book is the best of both. Hostile Witness brings fascinating characters into a thrilling story. Way to go, Rebecca Forster! This book has a foundation in the detail of the legal system that brings reality to the words on each page. And the best part is still the characters with the struggles they face to do what each thinks is 'right.' I finished this 'page-turner' in a day.

Summary: A fast-paced read
Review: The cliche "page-turner" really applies to this book. It's hard to put down as you are propelled along on Josie journey of twists and turns through the legal system. I am sure people will want to compare this to Grisham, but Forster tells her story with a flair and language that make Grisham look second-rate. I am looking forward to the next installment of the series.
