Witness (Ash Park Series Book 9) by Meghan O’Flynn – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Witness: An Ash Park Novel by Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Witness is book nine of Meghan O’Flynn’s ‘Ash Park’ series but each book can be read as a standalone story. This gritty fast paced crime thriller had me gripped from page one and had so many clever twists and turns that it kept me hooked and guessing until the very last page. The main character, Detective Edward Petrosky is a great character who has so many layers to him and an intriguing backstory of his own. The authors detailed descriptions made me feel immersed in the story and I felt as though I was there along side Detective Petrosky. Having seen many horrors in his career, Detective Petrosky is relieved when he gets a call about a burglary. However he soon realises that it’s no ordinary housebreak when he discovers considerable amount of blood at the scene, although the house owner doesn’t appear to be injured. The victim of the burglary is in fact a man who had been accused of sexual assault in the past and who has a dangerous family. To complicate the case further the suspect is a women who apparently died along with her husband in a fire ten years earlier. Petrosky is also concerned about his surrogate daughter and the wife of his murdered partner as they appear to be at the centre of a conspiracy and Shannon’s life is at stake. This has a fast paced storyline and a complicated plot which kept me on the edge of my seat until the last page. I have enjoyed all the books in this series and this one was no different. A great read, which I fully recommend.
