The Witness | Nora Roberts
NORA ROBERTS' 200th BOOK! In her stunning new novel, #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts proves why no one is better when it comes to flawlessly fusing high-stakes suspense with red-hot romance" (Booklist, starred review). Daughter of a cold, controlling mother and an anonymous donor, studious, obedient Elizabeth Fitch finally let loose one night, drinking too much at a nightclub and allowing a strange mans seductive Russian accent to lure her to a house on Lake Shore Drive. Twelve years later, the woman now known as Abigail Lowery lives alone on the outskirts of a small town in the Ozarks. A freelance security systems designer, her own protection 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 and her sharp mind, secretive nature and unromantic viewpoint intrigues local police chief Brooks Gleason, on both a personal and professional level. And while he suspects that Abigail needs protection from something, Gleason is accustomed to two-bit troublemakers, not the powerful and dangerous men who are about to have him in their sights. And Abigail Lowery, who has built a life based on security and self-control, is at risk of losing both.

I enjoyed the book overall but kept waiting for a climax that never happened. I was hooked in the first set of chapters even though they were different from what I expected when I picked up the book. On the second set, the book started spiraling down. It was monotonous throughout. I thought eventually it would all make sense with some grandiose plot twist or events, but it never happened. Overall a good, different story, but would not recommend.

First finished book of 2024! Turns out I‘ve actually read it before but I think I read it when it came out in 2012 and didn‘t actually realize I‘d read it until I was halfway through. So, in my mind, it was a brand new read for me. 🤣It was a nice way to start my mini vacation after working solid from the day after Christmas through the 4th. #ReadAway2024 @Andrew65 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES

Andrew65 Well done, and enjoy your mini-vacation. 👏👏👏 I‘ve done that with books before. 11mo

I'm usually a pretty big fan of Roberts, but this one just didn't click for me. I didn't particularly care for either of the main characters (Abigail came through as an android and Brooks was so freaking pushy, especially in the beginning, at a level where I felt like he was mis-using his position as sheriff) and for a book where she's supposedly being hunted down by Russian mafia and the FBI, the action level was almost nonexistent.

I enjoyed this, my third ever Nora Roberts, very much.Elizabeth lives an extremely sheltered life. A prodigy, she‘s enrolled in premed at Harvard at just 16. Escaping for one night, she ends up at a club owned by the Russian mob where she witnesses a double murder. When her Federal minders are also killed, she goes on the run. 12yrs later, living a quiet life in the Ozarks, she catches the eye of the sheriff. #Scareathlon #TeamSlaughter 3points+40

I think I‘m turning into a bit of an artist! Been doing some more #audiojournaling tonight, with some advice from my DIL who‘s an artist(but everything was done by me!)I‘m quite pleased with how it‘s turned out, considering stick figures were a stretch two days ago. Now I‘ve just got to finish the rest I have planned🙇🏻‍♀️ #Scareathlon #TeamSlaughter 1point #PointsTotal-43

My eyes are feeling gritty so I‘m switching to this audiobook. Elizabeth is a prodigy. At 16 yrs old, she‘s studying premed at Harvard, but with a controlling mother & no father, she‘s led a very sheltered life. Busting out one night, a former school friend convinces her to go clubbing, but the club is run by the Russian mob & after she witnesses a double murder she ends up in witness protection. #Scareathlon #TeamSlaughter 1point #PointsTotal-17

Clwojick Oooh. Sounds good! I‘ve really got to read all the Nora Roberts books that have been on my shelf for years 😂 5y

Damnnnnn... Nora Roberts throwing down the gauntlet on Cristiane Serruya, the Brazilian "author" that Courtney Milan first called out for plagiarizing dozens of authors and their books ??. Full article tagged in comments if you're curious! #romance #romantsy

Roberts: "She‘s a blood leech sucking on the body of the writing profession. Arranging for a truckload of salt to dispense with her has been taking up a lot of my time, energies, sanity..."

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego Authors have the best burns. 6y
SW-T Serruya messed with the wrong person for sure! Loved this quote by Roberts: “If you plagiarize, I will come for you. If you take my work, you will pay for it and I will do my best to see you don‘t write again.” 6y

Elizabeth Fitch is just 16 when she witnesses a Russian organized crime killing. I felt the plot was building up to some serious action and then was concerned the ending would fizzle. But the final twist caught me by surprise. Very satisfying.

Dragon I enjoyed the audiobook and the paperback. 😀🐉 7y

Between driving around Christmas shopping, #audiocleaning and #audiowalking I've managed to listen to 4 1\u002 hours this weekend.

On a side note, our little local library branch had some fun with their book dropbox.

Contemplating what to do for 8 hours this weekend so I can finish this book. I started it last weekend while wrapping presents and continued during my daily commute, but still just halfway done! I can sense some serious action on the horizon and don't want to wait until Monday to get back to it.

Doing a little #audiowrapping since Baby Girl is out of the house this afternoon. If I leave these presents unwrapped in the house much longer she will find them.

SandyW My mom always left the Christmas presents lying around unwrapped, it always ruined the surprise! 🎁 7y

I just got this book in the mail. It is an advance copy from Nora Roberts. So far not so bad

Wonderwoman89 Book is a little confusing from the quick jumping between characters which makes it hard to concentrate on because I have to go back and reread some pages to remind myself which character the author is writing about. 7y

The plot itself is fine. Not much action and it's pack more of romance than suspense. I've listen to this 📚 and the narrator did a very good job narrating the 📚. #noraroberts #thewitness #romanticsuspense
