Review – The Christmas Witness

Reid Morgan is a former FBI-agent, and he was on the case when Megan identified the criminal. But they got involved in a relationship and he ended up choosing his career over her. She married another man on the rebound, and he also fell into another relationship. But years later, the sparks are still there.

Reid pulls on all his FBI and law enforcement contacts to protect Megan, but with the killer playing with her and leaving no proof of his involvement, what the PD and FBI are allowed to do are limited. Still, Reid breaks his promise to his daughter about no carrying a weapon, and decides to do what it takes to keep Ella and Megan safe from a crazed man who wants them both dead before Christmas.

THE CHRISTMAS WITNESS is the third book by Ms. Sleeman, a sequel to Behind the Badge, though the story stands alone and is not marketed as part of a series. I enjoyed getting to know Reid, a very realistic, protector hero, and Megan, a woman who is running scared, but can’t go very far due to her daughter’s health issues.

Neither Megan nor Reid had anytime to relax in this book. With almost superhero speed, the villain stays one step ahead of them, always off the scene by the time they arrive. If you are looking for a romantic suspense with plenty of twists and turns and enough suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat, then THE CHRISTMAS WITNESS is one you’ll want to read. Discussion questions are included at the end of the book.
