2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
In House Witness, the twelfth novel in the Joe DeMarco series, Mike Lawson puts his likable protagonist on the trail of a different kind of fixerone whose job is to influence, and sometimes disappear, witnesses in seemingly airtight criminal cases. Minority Leader of the House and DeMarcos long-time employer John Mahoney has kept more than one secret from his wife over the years, but none so explosive as this: He has a son, and that son has just been shot dead in a bar in Manhattan. Mahoney immediately dispatches DeMarco to New York to assist prosecutor Justine Porter, but with five bystanders willing to testify against the killerrich-boy Toby Rosenthalthe case seems like a slam-dunk. That is, until Porter begins to suspect that someone is interfering with those witnesses, and that this may be connected to a pattern of cases across the country. Is there someone who is getting witnesses out of the way when the fate of a wealthy defendant is on the line? With the help of Porters intern, as outrageously smart as she is young, DeMarco becomes determined to follow that question through to its violent resolution in what turns out to be this series most unexpected plot yet.

This novel was the first I've read if the DeMarco series and it won't be my last. This is a well written legal thriller that was hard to put down. It was fast-paced and the plot was ingenious, I loved it, there was hardly any dry courtroom battling that drag a lot of legal thrillers down. We want to be entertained not learn all about the legal world.

4 ⭐️HOUSE WITNESS was an entertaining thriller that had me turning pages faster than a jackrabbit! I‘m a huge fan of the DeMarco series and have read and love them all. This one is no different, although I was a little disappointed that crux of DeMarco‘s role didn't emerge until well into the book. But when he did, he was in fine form.
