Publisher Description
Dark and gritty, Witness is a heart-pounding thriller set in Manchester by bestselling author Mandasue Heller.
Teenager Holly Evans and her over-protective mother, Josie, are living a hand-to-mouth existence, moving constantly from one squalid dump to the next. When they move into an illegally sub-let council flat in Manchester, Holly feels settled for the first time in her life – even if she is forbidden to go out, or even open the front door when her mum’s at work. What exactly are they hiding from?
Then Holly has a falling out with her best friend, and suddenly finds herself becoming increasingly isolated and alone in the world. But she is about to make a new friend in Suzie – the glamorous woman who lives directly across the road, who Holly witnesses being beaten up by her violent boyfriend.
But whoever Holly and Josie have been running from is about to find them, and nothing will ever be the same again.
You can only run for so long. And some will kill for your silence . . .

Customer Reviews
Witness
This was a very slow burner. I was disappointed. Not her usual gripping writing .
Disappointing
After waiting all year for this to be released I was eager to download it when I seen that it was available to purchase. At a costly price for one book I didn’t mind as normally her books are of good standard. First thing that I was annoyed at was at the continued use of HON throughout when if your from Manchester it’s HUN.
Secondly was the story itself. Really confusing, boring and predictable to be honest. Nothing like her usual books which keep you on your toes and where you can’t put it down.
Really annoyed that I even paid for it! Wouldn’t bother guys
