I, Witness

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. I devoured 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 *
A humdinger of a thriller debut ... a maze of lies, deceit and danger. * Evening Telegraph *
With a fantastic main character in the troubled PI Madison Attallee (hopefully we'll be seeing more of her), a slick plot and the clever device of switching viewpoints from Madison to Kate to her sister-in-law Claudia and even Naomi's mum, Anthea, author Niki MacKay pull us in and keeps us guessing right up to the end of this pacy murder-mystery. * My Weekly *
Niki Mackay's debut novel is a grippy, gulp-it-down crime thriller, deliciously full of twists and switchback revelations. * Living Magazine *
As addictive as Killing Eve. You Will not want to put it down. * The Lady *
Mackay builds tension to a fever pitch and throws in more twists than a corkscrew. Readers will look forward to Madison's next case. * Publishers Weekly *
