The Witness
by Nora Roberts
by Nora Roberts
5 stars just because I became so engrossed that I burned the chicken and had to order pizza! This was classic Nora Roberts.
Quick summary --- Liz witnesses a double murder, gets put in protective custody, her safety is compromised and she runs for 12 years. She settles in a small town and Brooks, the local chief of police, and her become involved. :)
Abigail (what Liz is know as now) learns that being alive is not the same as having a life. She finds a man (Brooks) who loves her even after he finds out what she is running from. I'm so glad she found a man that loved and wanted to protect her...even more important is that he let her protect herself and him.
(view spoiler)
One of the best quotes is when Brooks tells her, "I believe in fate and in things being meant and I believe in you!" So swoon-worthy! Abigail also teaches Brooks to learn to value the everyday, which is something we should all take to heart.
So overall, it is a great read...the best book Nora Roberts has put out in a while! Enjoy!

I haven't been on my Nora Robert's trolley in a long time. I think The Witness is just the ticket for the next one.You say this is class Nora Roberts? Well, I have been an uber fan for a decade now, and I lubbs her "classic".
Glad I read your review.

I do think this book is written more in her classic style...a good love story, where the hero has to get the girl to let him in and prove he is worthy. If you like Nora, I think you'll love this book!
