A former resident of the ultra-elite Manhattan upper class, Ruby now works as a maid in the type of houses she used to live in. Unassuming, she sees everyone’s dirty secrets from the inside of their beautiful, renovated brownstones. But when Ruby witnesses a murder, she has wicked plans in mind that don’t involve telling the authorities the truth.
Eddie Flynn, streetwise ex con-artist-turned-defense attorney, is the only lawyer in New York City willing to take on hopeless cases. And none is more hopeless than John Jackson’s—the gun that killed his neighbor found, with Jackson’s DNA, in his own home. Flynn and his unconventional team will need to use every trick they know to keep an innocent man from being locked up. But to save his client’s life, Eddie must first protect his own, as the scariest organized criminals in the city are out for his head.

4/5 stars
It wasn’t till after I had started reading Witness 8 that I realized this is book 8 in the Eddie Flynn Series. For me it worked fine as a standalone but I am intrigued about his past - con-man turned lawyer.
Witness 8 starts with a grab that kept my attention and it didn’t take long to know there are many layers to this story. It was fun keeping track of them all, which made the story all the more twisty.
I enjoyed this book, almost as much as Kill For Me Kill For You (a standalone read). I loved the mystery that kept me guessing, the characters that I liked and even those I didn’t. Trying to figure out the workings of Eddie’s mind and the bond he has with his team.
This was a well written book, with attention to detail. The ending saw everything fit together. I loved how the author kept me stumped right till the end. The blurb on the cover fits perfectly "What if the witness was more twisted than the killer?" Absolutely spot on!
My thanks to Atria Books for a digital arc in exchange for a honest review.
I’m intrigued by the premise,thanks for sharing your thoughts
