*************
They say I’m a murderer.
Six years ago, Kate Reynolds was found holding the body of her best friend; covered in blood, and clutching the knife that killed her.
I plead guilty.
Kate has been in prison ever since, but now her sentence is up. She is being released.
But the truth is, I didn’t do it.
There’s only one person who can help: Private Investigator Madison Attallee, the first officer on the scene all those years ago.
But uncovering the truth means catching a killer.
An incredibly gripping thriller with a twist you’ll never see coming. Fans of The Retreat by Mark Edwards, The Guilty One by Lisa Ballantyne, In the Dark by Cara Hunter and Snap by Belinda Bauer will love I,Witness.
*************
‘An absolutely gripping thriller founded on the horror of familial abuse and a great, flawed, female PI. There will be more Madison Attalee, I hope.’ Radio 4’s Dame Jenni Murray
‘I was swept away by this punchy, pacy thriller with its sharp characterisation and confident plotting. I devoured it in a single day. I particularly loved Madison’s fabulously chain-smoking, hyper-feminine sharpness. So looking forward to the next one.’ Helen Callaghan, author of Sunday Times bestseller Dear Amy
‘Tough and uncompromising, I, Witness had me totally gripped. I’m looking forward to hearing more from PI Madison Attalee.’ Alex Lake, author of Killing Kate and Copy Cat
‘Totally engaging, fast-paced and edgy … completely captivating. I, Witness kept me guessing till the very end. Pick this book up if you’re after a page-turner with attitude.’ Elle Croft, author of The Guilty Wife
‘Gripping, moving and smart. I can’t wait for the next Madison Attalee novel.’ Amazon reviewer, 5 stars
‘Be prepared to be hooked… you won’t put this down…’ Amazon reviewer, 5 stars
‘Brilliant. Great characters and plot. Was gripped, couldn’t get to the end fast enough.’ Amazon reviewer, 5 stars

Mackay builds tension to a fever pitch and throws in more twists than a corkscrew. Readers will look forward to Madison's next case.
I was swept away by this punchy, pacy thriller with its sharp characterisation and confident plotting. I devoured it in a single day. I particularly loved Madison's fabulously chain-smoking, hyper-feminine sharpness. There were so many things done well here - the presentation of domestic abuse, dysfunctional families, the uneven dynamic of female friendships that border on bullying - so much to enjoy. So looking forward to the next one.
Had me hooked within two pages, it has every bit as much appeal as some of the bestsellers of the last few years, like Girl on the Train.
Tough and uncompromising, I, Witness had me totally gripped. I'm looking forward to hearing more from PI Madison Attalee.
As addictive as Killing Eve. You Will not want to put it down.
Niki Mackay's debut novel is a grippy, gulp-it-down crime thriller, deliciously full of twists and switchback revelations.
A humdinger of a thriller debut ... a maze of lies, deceit and danger.
Cracking thriller and a great female protagonist. Swearing, smoking, rock-music loving (and not neurotic or passive!) My kind of woman.
Cutting-edge gripping.
An absolutely gripping thriller founded on the horror of familial abuse and a great, flawed, female PI. There will be more Madison Attalee, I hope.
Totally engaging, fast-paced and edgy ... completely captivating. I, Witness kept me guessing till the very end. Pick this book up if you're after a page-turner with attitude.
With a fantastic main character in the troubled PI Madison Attallee (hopefully we'll be seeing more of her), a slick plot and the clever device of switching viewpoints from Madison to Kate to her sister-in-law Claudia and even Naomi's mum, Anthea, author Niki MacKay pull us in and keeps us guessing right up to the end of this pacy murder-mystery.
I couldn't put I,Witness down. A hugely accomplished novel with a dark, sad story at its heart - the characters are so well drawn that I felt every twist along with them as Mackay expertly manipulates the reader. With a wonderful, chain-smoking and perfume-spraying private detective driving the narrative, this is a 2018 must-read.
