The Only Witness

By Laura Scott

A police detective will do anything to protect a little girl who may have witnessed a murder in this suspenseful romance from USA TODAY bestselling author Laura Scott, part of the Callahan Confidential series.

Determined to question the ex-wife of a murder suspect, homicide detective Miles Callahan arrives just in time to save her and her daughter from a shooter. Leaving the scene of a crime goes against his training, but protecting Paige Olson and the little girl is more important than following the rules. But now, on the run with mother and child, Miles must figure out what happened to Paige’s ex-husband…and why young Abby won’t say a word. Her usually talkative child’s silence has Paige worried. Is it possible she witnessed something while video chatting with her dad? If only they can convince the little girl to talk, then they might just break the case wide open…and stop the killer who’s stalking them at every turn.

Title: The Only Witness (Callahan Confidential)Author: Laura ScottPages: 220Year: February 2017Publisher: Love Inspired SuspenseMy rating is 4 out of 5 stars.Miles Callahan’s best friend has just been murdered. One of the prime suspects can’t be found, so Miles decides to question the suspects ex-wife to see if she knows anything. He arrives at her house as gunshots are fired. He leaps into action, getting the woman and her young daughter out of the house and away from danger. He calls his boss to explain but won’t bring them in until he discovers what is going on. The woman, Paige, and her daughter, Abby, appear to be innocent of any criminal activity. Why then is someone out to kill them?Miles also has been investigating his father’s murder in his off hours. Could that have something to do with Paige and Abby? He doesn’t see how, but he must consider everything. He soon learns that Abby has seen something when she was in contact on the internet with her father. However, she is too traumatized to verbalize it or anything else. On the run from motel to motel, Miles really needs to know what Abby saw to help keep them safe and to help him hunt down a murderer. His protective instincts are in full force where Abby and Paige are concerned, and he quickly feels more than friendship for Paige. But the timing is not right to start a relationship, plus he has told himself again and again he doesn’t want to commit to any long-term relationship. As the killer gets closer, Miles and Paige get closer to each other and solving the mystery.These are my favorite travel books. I keep one in my car or purse, so if I have some spare time waiting on someone, I can pick up a book and read a few chapters. The action begins on page one and entices the reader to continue on until the last page. Even in the midst of being shot at, Paige is praying. She also prays before eating in front of Miles, who has put a distance between himself and God. She lives out her faith for anyone to see, and I like that.
