You are hooked from the start when you pick up Cooney's latest title, If The Witness Lied.
This family lost their mom when she chose having a child over fighting her aggressive form of liver cancer. This made the news. People thought she was making the wrong choice. The family never got any peace from the media. When the baby was two, they lost their father when he was crushed by his car in their driveway. The only witness to the accident said that the baby released the parking break, the baby that killed it's mother now killed it's father.
The family couldn't survive together, so everyone splintered apart - some to boarding school, some to live with godparents. But now...a year later...there is more to the story than meets the eye. As each of the children return home, they will find their family in crisis and they will each bring something necessary to the table. However, will they be able to solve the mystery before it's too late for baby Tris?
Cooney is a master. Everything she writes is a page turner, is interesting, is fast paced and easy to get in to. This is no different.
