Media Reviews
Cracking thriller and a great female protagonist. Swearing, smoking, rock-music loving (and not neurotic or passive!) My kind of woman. - C.J. Tudor, author of The Chalk Man

I was swept away by this punchy, pacy thriller with its sharp characterisation and confident plotting. Idevoured it in a single day. I particularly loved Madison's fabulously chain-smoking, hyper-feminine sharpness. There were so many things done well here - the presentation of domestic abuse, dysfunctional families, the uneven dynamic of female friendships that border on bullying - so much to enjoy. So looking forward to the next one. - Helen Callaghan, author of Dear Amy

Tough and uncompromising, I, Witness had me totally gripped. I'm looking forward to hearing more from PI Madison Attalee. - Alex Lake, author of Killing Kate, After Anna and Copy Cat

An absolutely gripping thriller founded on the horror of familial abuse and a great, flawed, female PI. There will be more Madison Attalee, I hope. - Dame Jenni Murray

Totally engaging, fast-paced and edgy ... completely captivating. I, Witness kept me guessing till the very end. Pick this book up if you're after a page-turner with attitude. - Elle Croft, author of The Guilty Wife

I couldn't put I,Witness down. A hugely accomplished novel with a dark, sad story at its heart - the characters are so well drawn that I felt every twist along with them as Mackay expertly manipulates the reader. With a wonderful, chain-smoking and perfume-spraying private detective driving the narrative, this is a 2018 must-read. - Phoebe Morgan, author of The Doll House

Cutting-edge gripping. - Sam King, author of The Choice

Had me hooked within two pages, it has every bit as much appeal as some of the bestsellers of the last few years, like Girl on the Train. - Robert Scragg, author of What Falls Between the Cracks
