The Lonely Witness

‘Skilfully shows how crime fiction has the ability to explore what motivates people to choose their path in life’

Oline H. Cogdill , Herald-Whig

The Lonely Witness is a map of Brooklyn’s genome. Amy Falconetti is that rarest of noir characters, a woman redeemed and a redeemer. Walking in her shoes for only a few blocks is worth the price of admission

New York Times bestselling author of What You Break

‘Elegiac and wistful, Boyle’s second novel tells the story of Amy, a former hipster who has forsaken bands and booze for a simpler life in Gravesend, Brooklyn’

Lisa Levy , Crime Reads

‘An excellent sequel with a superb plot, matched by its realistically shaped characters’

Oline H. Cogdill , Washington Post

‘If you like the richly nuanced novels of George Pelecanos or Dennis Lehane, be prepared to add Boyle to your regular reading list’
