This book was fast-paced and difficult to put down. Parts were quite predictable such as the romantic involvement of two characters. It's a typical beautiful girl gets nice guy scenerio. They fall for each other too quickly and you're not sure who's pursuing whom.
Wouldn't you like a story once in awhile where things don't always turn out happy? Where it's more realistic? Does the main character always have to be a hero?

In Final Witness, Bell has written a wholly satisfying tale full of page-turning suspense and courtroom drama. Idealistic and hard-working paralegal, Rachel Ybarra is assigned to help the DA with a blockbuster case involving the prosecution of an apparently patriotic American of Russian extraction for hiring a hit man. Behind the scenes he has been running a pervasive criminal enterprise and utilizing a mysterious invisible hit man to further his power.

Like his Kit Shannon, Rachel Ybarra is just a little too good to be true, but she is well met with her equally opposite evil antagonist and a myriad of characters in between.
As with Blind Justice, I would put it down for a minute and then pick it right back up...finishing late into the night.
