I am priviledged to have read 13 Rebecca Forster novels and this is the best one yet!!  The reader already has other reviews that detail the plot line, so I would like to explain to the reader why I think Expert Witness is the best Forster novel yet.....1.  excellent weaving of the main plot and the subplots......(a) captives - Jose and Erika, (b) Hermosa PD - interaaction between Liz and Captain Hagarty, (c) excellent subplot with Hannah, Archer and Sarah Crane, (d) excellent interaction between Liz (Hermosa PD) and LAPD2.  I really liked how Ms Forster used subtitles to always alert the reader where the story was taking place.  Clear, concise and well done.3.  One of Ms Forsters main qualities is the ability to introduce characters to the reader and "weave" in the important background of that character in such a manner that the reader understands "why" this character is important to the story.4.  Ms Forster has an uncany ability to weave and maintian subplots without distracting from the main plot. Examples include (a) maintianing the subplot of the captives (Jose and Erika) without distracting from the main plot which is the search for Jose (b) the conflict between Hanah, Archer and Sarah Crane while maintaining the main plot.5.  I really liked how Ms Forster presented the conflicted relationship between Liz and Captain Hagarty. I think this was important to the main story line and enhanced the character of Liz Driscoll.6.  I enjoyed the improved relationship between Hannah and Archer.  We could "feel" the improvment in the relationship as well as "read about it".7.  I loved the interaction at the Edleman Children's Court.8.  The A-1 Storage Center saga was excellent - well written, suspenseful and entertaining.This is an action, legal thriller that will be the "page turner" of the year. I absolutely recommend it with five stars and "two thumbs up".
