Praise for Niki Mackay:

Cracking thriller and a great female protagonist. Swearing, smoking, rock-music loving (and not neurotic or passive!) My kind of woman. (C.J. Tudor, author of The Chalk Man)

I was swept away by this punchy, pacy thriller with its sharp characterisation and confident plotting. I devoured it in a single day. I particularly loved Madison's fabulously chain-smoking, hyper-feminine sharpness. There were so many things done well here - the presentation of domestic abuse, dysfunctional families, the uneven dynamic of female friendships that border on bullying - so much to enjoy. So looking forward to the next one. (Helen Callaghan, author of Dear Amy)

Tough and uncompromising, I, Witness had me totally gripped. I'm looking forward to hearing more from PI Madison Attalee. (Alex Lake, author of Killing Kate, After Anna and Copy Cat)

An absolutely gripping thriller founded on the horror of familial abuse and a great, flawed, female PI. There will be more Madison Attalee, I hope. (Dame Jenni Murray)

Totally engaging, fast-paced and edgy ... completely captivating. I, Witness kept me guessing till the very end. Pick this book up if you're after a page-turner with attitude. (Elle Croft, author of The Guilty Wife)

Cutting-edge gripping. (Sam King, author of The Choice)

Had me hooked within two pages, it has every bit as much appeal as some of the bestsellers of the last few years, like Girl on the Train. (Robert Scragg, author of What Falls Between the Cracks)

A humdinger of a thriller debut ... a maze of lies, deceit and danger. (Evening Telegraph)
