Dead Witness, the exciting break-out novel from a talented new
author - Joylene Butler, is a non-stop roller-coaster of suspense
and intrigue.
Joylene does a masterful job of creating an "Every-Woman"
protagonist, Valerie McCormick, that at first you will feel
compassion for when she is forced to abandon her beloved family to
save their lives. But as the story progresses, you will find
yourself rooting for Valerie as she learns that she is much
stronger that she ever imagined
The story is tight and well crafted. The villains are pure poison
but the author doesn't fall in to the trap of so many others who
make their evil characters two dimensional stereotypes.
Author Butler's villains are evil to be sure but the author gives
us a back story which helps we the reader, to comprehend their
actions without necessarily sympathizing with them
The action is fast paced and intense, as is the transformation of
Valerie; from a bored, and beleaguered wife and mother - to a woman
who finds that when the worst happens and her family lives are in
danger, she has the inner strength to transform herself from an
insecure and vulnerable housewife, to a brave and strong
woman.
I highly recommend Dead Witness as a "Must" for your reading list
