The Lonely Witness
The Lonely Witness | William Boyle
7 posts | 3 read | 8 to read
Amy was once a party girl, but now she lives a lonely life. Helping the house-bound to receive communion in the Gravesend neighbourhood of Brooklyn, she knows the community well. When a local woman goes missing, Amy senses something isn't right. Tailing the woman's suspicious son, she winds her way through Brooklyn's streets. But before she can act, he is dead. Captivated by the crime she's witnessed and the murderer himself, Amy doesn't call the cops. Instead, she collects the weapon from the sidewalk and soon finds herself on the trail of a killer.

I‘m about fifty pages in and I‘m not sure about this one. Either the author will pull everything together and the book will be brilliant, or it will continue to be people, including the main character, behaving bizarrely.

...and I‘m out. I do not like the third person, present tense narration in this book. It‘s got a weird cadence that I think is supposed to lend tension to the story, but just doesn‘t work. I also find the MCs navel gazing to be annoying. I don‘t care about her or the murder she witnessed as a child or the murder we‘re told she‘s going to witness. #bored Even #Bailey is not impressed. 😂 #dogsoflitsy

DGRachel @Leftcoastzen Thanks! I think so, too. She‘s totally stolen my heart. 6y

“Now you‘ve got this batshit reality TV show president Twittering and whatnot.”

I still can‘t believe this is our reality. 😭 #truthinfiction #realitysucks #notmypresident #resist

Last post for the day. While I debate bailing on my other in-progress library book, I‘m starting this one. Not loving the set up so far, but I‘ll give it a few more pages before giving up. #currentlyreading #Bailey #dogsoflitsy #readingbuddy

Hour 17 of the @24in48 #readathon: This morning I read ABRAHAM LINCOLN, PRO WRESTLER and ABIGAIL ADAMS, PIRATE OF THE CARIBBEAN. Now I‘m starting a mystery for breakfast. How‘s everyone else out there doing? ❤️📚☺️

Lizpixie I‘m at Hr22 here! About a third of the way through my 4th book, Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero, which is nothing like I thought. It‘s so much better! Very snarky & funny, but also dark. I‘m loving it👍💚❤️ 7y
Graciouswarriorprincess I am at Hr17 here. 7y
Airforcesister I wish I could do a readathon but I work weekends. My weekends are Tuesday and Wednesday 7y
