The Missing Witness: A Quinn & Costa Novel (A Quinn & Costa Thriller, 5)

The Missing Witness is the fifth book in the Quinn & Costa Novel series by Allison Brennan. Detective Kara Quinn is “on loan” to the FBI after a mission went wrong. Working closely with FBI Agent Matt Costa, she develops a sexual relationship with him but learns to keep him at arm’s length because she doesn’t know “how to love.” When the human trafficker she is about to testify against gets killed, Kara knows there is something sinister going on.

Told from the viewpoints of both Kara and the woman who witnessed the murder, the reader is introduced to a situation where not everyone is playing fair.

Although I enjoyed the plot of this book, I felt like most of it dragged on and there was a lot of over-explaining of parts. I loved the part where Kara and the witness had to flee where they were to keep the witness safe because it was exciting, but a lot of the book was introducing new character after character which just became confusing. This was not my favorite book by Brennan by far.
