Author Shelly talks finding the truth in the Reluctant Witness

Online PR News � 23-December-2016 � Utah's most cherished award-winning author of Trail of Forgiveness and I'll Find Them, Marilyn Ellsworth Shelley, penned yet another hair-raising moment with her newest book, The Reluctant Witness.

What happens when you accidentally witness a brutal murder? In her newest offering, Shelley brings to life the character of Maria, a divorced mother with two small children, who witnessed a brutal murder. Familiar with the assailant as a powerful corporate executive, she realizes she cannot go to the police to seek justice. Maria, a paralegal for a large law firm in Lockwood, decided that she must seek justice on her own, consolidating the evidence even if it means jeopardizing her precious life and her family.

What if she's wrong? What if something else is going on? Shelley is determined to make each reader create empathy by giving Maria's character a desire or internal struggle that readers can identify with. Would she be a witness of fear or of truth?

In her book, The Reluctant Witness, suspense builds as danger approaches. Shelley wants readers to worry about whether or not Maria will get what she wants. The book is definitely a page-turner from the very beginning. Every scene will keep readers on their toes (and audibly gasping) all the way through!
