A thoroughly enjoyable read This book has everything - likable characters, a fast-paced plot, genuine suspense and delightful moments of unexpected humor. Easily one of the best debuts I've ever read. I am eager to read the author's follow-up, "Veritas," and will gladly pick up any future novels. Give this one a try - you won't be sorry.
Lashner's a real talent This book is wonderful. Great, great characters, a clever and very well thought through plot (but not so intricate that you can't follow it), and a payoff at the end that matches or exceeds the reader's expectations. The protagonist, Victor Carl, is a real original. And the book's well written to boot! (Lashner's a practicing lawyer and a graduate of the Univ. of Iowa graduate writing program).
An excellent LISTEN! I listened to the unabridged recording of HOSTILE WITNESS read by one of my favorite readers, Richard Ferrone. So, in addition to a riveting plot and good characters, I got to hear Morris' wonderful accent, not just read it. Very entertaining!
This book is excellent! You don't want to put it down. The characters in this book are very interesting. You will love Morris, a Jewish investigator. If you can get hook on phonics, you will definitely get hook on this book. Quite by accident I have located another book titled "Veritas" that follows this book to a tee!
Absolutely compelling! The quirky characters and different levels of the story made me want to keep reading. I look forward to reading more by Lashner. Hopefully we'll see everybody in Hostile Witness again. A definite 5 star recommendation.
