Wealthy clients, old lovers, scary people out to kill her-- Josie Bates has an exciting life.

Book needed a good proof reader.

No sex
Some non-graphic violence

Man! Another great book in the series! I couldn't put it down, which surprised me because I read some of the reviews that said that is was not as good as the first two. Well, I certainly disagree! I was captivated and couldn't wait to see the direction that it was going to go and how it would end. In Privileged Witness, Josie is taken back to her past, when the sister (Grace McCreary) of her ex-boyfriend, "comes back from the dead" and is looking to hire Josie. Josie ex-boyfriend is Matthew McCreary, who happens to be in contention to be the first republican senator of California, in a very long time. His wife, Michelle, has just committed suicide and the detective investing the crime believes that she was actually pushed. Grace will do anything to protect her brother at all costs, which is why she looks to Josie for help. Unfortunately, while Grace was protecting her brother, it was actually Grace who needed the protection, since she is the one who has been arrested for her sister-in-law's murder.

That's all I am willing to say about the plot of this book. It had many twists and turns. I kept trying to guess what the beg reveal at the end was going to be. I have to say, I did figure part of it out, but there was one thing I didn't see coming (not that I'll say what it was). This book, along with the others in the series is well worth the read!

Josie, the hero!

This book kept me wondering who was the crazy person. I was pleased to find out how it ended and the fine women survived to the end.

‘Privileged Witness’ is Rebecca Forster’s third book in the Josie Bates legal thriller ‘Witness’ series. This book sees Josie attempting to defend Grace McCreary the the sister of an ex-lover Matthew McCreary, who is also a Republican Senatorial candidate. Grace is accused of killing Michelle, Matthew McCreary’s wife by pushing her off a balcony: while she maintains that Michelle had committed suicide. Defending the sister of an ex-lover, stirs up all sorts of feelings within her, which at times clouds her judgment regarding the case. The case also threatens to derail Matthew McCreary’s election campaign. The ‘Witness’ series sticks to a very well tried and tested formula, which in this case is a positive, because it is a formula that works very well. Although the formula is predictable, the story in my view is easy to read, fast paced with many twists and turns that keep you guessing to the end. So far for me, The ‘Witness’ series has been a guaranteed enjoyable read.

"Privileged Witness" is another enjoyable installment in the series. I appreciate Rebecca Forster's writing style. Her characters are interesting and the plots intriguing. This story was particularly engaging and involved a couple of twists I did not anticipate. I intend to continue with #4 and beyond...

Each one of these stories gets better. I think I am getting quite a crush on Archer.

TWISTS & TURNS

Ms. Forster surprises the reader with her characters’ twists & turns in dealing with the emotion we call love. Certainly a roller coaster in this third book of the series.
Good read.

This is the 3rd in the series about Josie Bates, who is a criminal lawyer. Her and her boyfriend, Archer, are still together, but right now he is in Mexico taking a break.

In this one, Josie is contacted by Grace McCreary, who just happens to be the sister of a man she dated for several years, Matthew. He is married and is pursuing a career in the polictical arena. Grace contacts Josie as Matthew's wife, has jumped out of their apartment building and is dead. The police are investigating, but Grace thinks they might try to pin her death on Matthew. Josie is quite surprised, as when she dated Matthew, he told her that his parents and his sister were killed in an automobile accident.

Yes, Hannah, is still living with Josie. She is still doing her art and is sometimes involved in the cases Josie is handling. The book really starts out with a bang, as her client, Susan, has sued her husband for beating her up and divorce. She has won the case with a large monetary settlement. The husband is not happy and has threatened to kill Susan and also go after Josie. So Josie is watching her back.

When she gets a call from her new client, Grace. Grace has been arrested for the murder of Matthew's wife. Now, Josie must figure out what is going on and who or if anyone is involved in the "suicide" death of Matthew's wife.
