I have just finished reading 'Hostile Witness' by Rebecca Forster .
This is an excellent court room
thriller with many twists and turns in the plot to keep ones
interest. It is a fast moving story with very good character
analysis and court room scenes.
It follows the trial of
sixteen-year-old Hannah Sheraton who is charged with arson and the
murder of her step-grandfather. There is the added complication that
he was the chief justice of the California Supreme court. Her mother
pleads with Josie Baylor-Bates, an old college friend for help in
defending Hannah. As Josie investigates the facts surrounding the
alleged crime and the complications of the personal life of the
family she gets further involved than a lawyer ought to.
This is the first book by Rebecca
Forster that I have read. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, having
difficulty in putting it down. I recommend it as a very good and
interesting read.
