What if you made one mistake and it came back to kill you?

When Met Police Detective Troy McEwen is found dead in his home, the official verdict is suicide. But his friend and fellow detective Zac believes it was murder. And he thinks he might be next on the killer’s list.

If Troy didn’t take his own life, then who did?

As he investigates, Zac discovers a link to an incident from decades earlier. Mistakes were made that day. Lives were lost and secrets kept. Until now...

As more people who were there on that fateful day are found dead, Zac knows that the killer is closing in on him....

A tense crime thriller for fans of Lee Child, Mark Billingham and Mark Dawson. Last Witness is a gripping, fast-paced thriller that will have you hooked.

Lots of twists and turns in this plot as the reader tries to figure out the who done it and why
Plenty of suspects to consider with brother and sister Rix left as a bit of a mystery.

This is a very entertaining story with a strong conclusion that nicely brings the story to an interesting end. A series of suicides don't seem to concern the police department but do concern a police officer. Because of his determination a link emerges between the death of several people. As the murders increase the need to identify the killer intensifies. This book is well worth your time and money.

I thought this was an okay read. Did not find it a gripping thriller, though. Perhaps the names bothered me.

Enjoyed this tale and the twists and turns it took. I wound up guessing the culprit only to be thrown off track as others emerged. Glad to see my instincts were correct. I enjoyed the read.

OH yes, this was intriguing. Everyone thinks there is a new serial killer in town, but is he? OR is it all related to something else? I can't say anymore because it would give away the plot, but well worth reading.

A little to many story lines going on,but the main case was very good. Many books and shows are going overboard on numerous cases at the same time and it becomes very confusing until you skip read til the story line you are following.

"The only mistakes you make are the opportunities you don't react to"

Zac Boateng is back and he's policing in his own unique way again. And it's another personal case he's got to solve! Old friendships die hard and Zac has to open old wounds. Painful wounds and the old friends all have something to hide....but someone wants the secrets out in the open. Who can Zac trust?!

I'm one of those people who wants to solve the case before the grand reveal. Frequently I get it wrong or I can't settle on a suspect. But with Last Witness, just before half way through I had my suspect....and despite the author's efforts to change my mind, I didn't waver from my choice which does make a change. Was I right? Now that would be a spoiler and there are #nospoilers here!

I was extremely intrigued who is Jim and who he works for?? How does he fit into this complex story? He was a man I needed to keep an eye on....and I'm glad I did!

"Your sin will find you out"

This is a very tense read from Chris Merritt which I thoroughly enjoyed. And the climax!! Oh my that was brilliant! This dark crime thriller is a cracker of a read. I can't wait for Book 3! Mr Merritt, I can't believe you left me hanging!! I need Book 3 right now!!!!

"Last Witness" by Chris Merritt is a readable crime thriller. The main theme is revenge, as those involved in a historic event are hunted down and killed. Then only one the policeman who stars in the story is left. What will be his fate?

3.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre but Worth a Look
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 13, 2019

I hadn’t read first book in the series but it didn’t matter as it was easy to ‘get the gist’. I certainly wouldn’t describe this as a ‘gripping crime thriller’ and I was ‘able to put it down’. It’s mediocre and none of the characters are particularly memorable or interesting, including the lead detective Zac Boateng.
The plot revolves around an incident that occurred in 1998, when Boateng and two other new constables (Troy Mc Ewan and Ana Maria de Souza) are sent to a confrontation burglary. Cut to 2017 and the now Detective Inspector Boateng is visiting his close friend from those days, Troy, who he finds has committed suicide. (Or has he?)
The plot does gather apace and there are plenty of further deaths-suspects and guessing. However, the author tries too hard and ‘muddies the waters’ with an additional plot and a rather mad ending.
Worth a look but not compelling or captivating.
