Witness 8 (Eddie Flynn #8)

I finally finished!! And it pains me to say this, but this instalment was bland as. Aside from one unexpected twist, the crime plot and the court case were dull and tedious, and the antagonists, especially Ruby the Nanny, were neither threatening nor juicy enough for my tastes. The regular characters were the highlight, and the only thing that held my interest, and kept me reading. I love this series, and will continue to read it, but Witness 8 was the only one out of the four others I’ve read that I haven’t rated 5 stars. Still have three more to read - so hopefully I have more luck with those. My opinion is very much in the minority though - most have loved Witness 8.

Thanks, Darla. So far I’m not enjoying it as much as the previous books, but that could change, depending on the last 40%.

Looks like the last 40% did not measure up. Sorry this was a dud for you, Lisa.😞

It was a real drag. I was waiting for it to get exciting and it never did.

Thanks, Cara. Amazing characters, but the plot wasn't up to this author's usual standard.

Let’s hope so, Ceecee. I really wanted to like it, but compared to the other books, it was a letdown.

I know, me too. I still can’t believe what a letdown it was. Here’s hoping it’s a 5 star read for you.

I thought so too. Hopefully this time you disagree with my review. 😉

I really didn’t like this one, but I am glad to hear you say it was an outlier, because I still want to read others from the series!

Fifty Fifty, The Devil’s Advocate, and The Accomplice were all amazing.

I had a few issues with this one as well and I'm struggling rating it either a 3 or 4 star. Excellent review, Lisa.
