“Witness in the Dark” by Lynne Larson *christian drama* review and giveaway

This was a quick read since it’s only 200 pages but well written and not rushed. The main character, 19 year old Jenny accidentally witnesses a murder and is brutally attacked and left to die by the murderer-a fellow neighbor-in a nearby shaft.

The first half of the book are flashbacks of recent events in Jenny’s life so the reader can get a better understanding of relationships and characters so the rest of the story makes sense as it unfolds.

I held my breath as the story continued hoping that it would end well. I liked the story and would recommend it to high school readers and above due to the violence.

Clean (free of bad language) and suspenseful! There are religious references through out the story since the main character and family are Christian/LDS Mormon, but nothing over the top or confusing to non LDS members.

I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

About the Book
What began as a picture-perfect summer vacation for college student Jenny Brodie has swiftly become a nightmare. When she left home on the back of her horse one sunny morning, she couldn’t have imagined what awaited her in the Utah desert. Now the darkness is closing in, and there is no way out.
The woman saw what he did—she witnessed the shots he fired, the murder he committed. But she’ll never talk. He’s made sure of that.

For a man desperate to hide his crimes, the pressure steadily rises as Jenny’s community bands together to find the missing young woman. As the searchers grow ever closer to discovering what he has hidden, so too does his desperation. He will stop at nothing to keep the woman hidden—but he has underestimated the second witness to his evil deeds: a young girl determined to protect Jenny. As the trail runs cold, will help come for Jenny before time runs out?
