For the first time I can remember, I made it to page 281 of this 323 page book and didn't finish it. I didn't care how it ended, I just wanted it to END. Maybe if I'd read the first book in the series, I would have been more invested in the characters but this just seemed to drag on pointlessly and never fully drew me in. Blech. (

Once I got past the acronyms appearing on nearly every page this novel became a bit interesting.

Before turning to writing Hoffman was working within the subject area of the novel. It shows! She brings her obvious knowledge and expertise into the novel, which is understandable but unbearable. It isn't always relevant either.

The plot is good, you may have it worked it out quickly. I didn't which was the main reason for finishing it. (

First words

The heavy wooden doors to courtroom 4-8 swung open again, tapping the back of the chair where the corrections officer sat fiddling with the bottom snap on his department-issued green windbreaker.

A riveting new novel from the internationally bestselling author of Retribution.

Cops are dying. Hunted down while on patrol, they are being murdered while trying to protect the citizens of Miami from this very type of crime. Dominick Falconetti, an agent with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, is charged with heading a task force to investigate. Details at the crime scenes point to a drug connection, and when a highly-placed gang member disappears, it reinforces Dominick's suspicions that these cops were all involved in something unsavory.

C. J. Townsend, the state prosecutor he has loved for the past three years-ever since they met on the infamous Cupid investigation-is getting the calls in the middle of the night as well. As the state attorney who put Florida's last serial killer behind bars, she's the logical choice to help stop this one. But before long, C.J. begins to suspect that she knows an even more terrible secret than Dominick does about why these cops are being murdered.

A tense, gripping crime drama set against the richly detailed background of the Miami legal system and police department,

Last Witness is an extraordinary novel.
