Daughter of a cold, controlling mother and an anonymous donor, studious, obedient Elizabeth finally let loose one night, drinking too much at a nightclub and allowing a strange man’s seductive Russian accent to lure her to a house on Lake Shore Drive. The events that followed changed her life forever. Twelve years later, the woman now known as Abigail Lowery lives alone on the outskirts of a small town in the Ozarks. A freelance programmer, she works at home designing sophisticated security systems. Her own security is supplemented by a fierce dog and an assortment of firearms. She keeps to herself, saying little, revealing nothing. Unfortunately, that seems to be the quickest way to get attention in a tiny southern town. The mystery of Abigail Lowery intrigues local police chief Brooks Gleason, on both a personal and a professional level. Her sharp, logical mind, her secretive nature, her unromantic viewpoints leave him fascinated but frustrated. He suspects that Abigail needs protection from something, even if he doesn’t know what — and that her elaborate defenses hide a story that must be revealed. Accustomed to two-bit troublemakers, Gleason is about to walk into the sights of very powerful and dangerous men. And Abigail Lowery, who has built a life based on security and self-control, is at risk of losing both.

2.5 Too much and not enough
This book is divided into four sections; sections one and four were a great read. The second and third sections did too much damage and I had to rate a work by my favorite author a measly 2.5 stars. This hurts, as often the truth does. I really liked Elizabeth/Abigail as a person and survivor. She...

This is my first Nora Roberts book that wasn't part of a series or paranormal and I have to say I really enjoyed it! I was drawn in very quickly to the story with young Elizabeth and her rebellion against her rather clinical mother and her rules. I know it's called The Witness but I didn't think w...

1.5 Blegh!
Sooo boring and overly technical. Elizabeth reads like a robot, she has zero personality and her love interest Brook is so perfect, he is the textbook definition for romanticize male lead. He does everything right and never, ever disappoint, just like Elizabeth, who is the smartest, the prettiest, t...
