Unexpected Witness: Christian Romantic Suspense (Mountain Justice Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Penny Zeller (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars (841)
If she can identify one person, she could bring down an entire crime network.

Nurse Mila Casey did not expect to witness a murder in the clinic’s parking lot. Nor did she imagine seeking protection from the at-large killer would land her on a secluded ranch owned by handsome, but standoffish, Roarke Brenneman.

Mila finds herself in the center of ever-growing danger as the police are unable to locate the suspect. When the protection of the ranch is compromised and Mila’s location is discovered, can she, with Roarke’s aid, stay one step ahead of a crazed murderer who intends to silence her forever?
Unexpected Witness is a faith-filled Christian romantic suspense with the following tropes:
  • Nurse heroine
  • Protective rancher hero
  • Forced proximity
  • Small town

Review

With a riveting plot and sympathetic main characters, Unexpected Witness is guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. ~ Madi's Musings Book Review Blog


I was hooked by chapter one and found it hard to put down. Penny provides readers with an exciting murder mystery while keeping the book clean and void of graphic details. Unexpected Witness is the perfect mix of faith, family, and suspense. Highly recommended! ~ Erin Snyder, reader


Loved Mila and Roarke's story! ~ Trudy, voracious reader


Fast paced, full of suspense, and captivating. Be sure to add it to your TBR. ~ S.H., reader

    5.0 out of 5 stars An engaging Christian Suspence story
    Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2025
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    In this action-packed, Christian Suspense novel, nurse Mila Casey completes her shift at the local hospital and walks to her car in the employee parking lot. She notices some peculiar behavior, draws closer, and then witnesses a deadly attack. The murderer catches sight of her and tries to kill her as well. Mila calls for help, but her actions put her in greater danger. If you enjoy suspense and mysteries, this is a book to consider. From the beginning to the end of this story, Zeller held my attention through realistic, life-threatening situations and relatable characters.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Mila can’t believe it she just saw a man she had met at the hospital, MURDERED.
    Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2024
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Mila was a fairly new nurse at the local hospital. She had just settled in and was making it clear to everyone that she was a great nurse and would be a good member of the community.
    Mila had been working late quite often lately, so she decided to take off on time for once. That is when she walked into a scene that was to terrify her for a long time. Someone was being attacked in the parking lot! She tried to call out but realized that only put her in danger. The murderer turned to her and she realized she had better get into her car and go for help quickly. Very quickly as the man was coming after her next. She got away after a confrontation and he started chasing her car. Mila was almost killed as she drove to the sheriff’s office and the sheriff put her into hiding with his brother Roarke. This is the start of a great story.

    Great story. I loved the main characters and their interactions with each other. Constant action, but not a lot of violence. Heartfelt dialogue and emphasis on trusting the Lord during trials and regrets.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2025
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Unexpected Witness was action packed from page 1. The story was fast-paced and gripping, but almost too fast-paced. There was no time to breathe between scenes, which took away from character development and made the story lack the depth that would have taken it to the next level. But if you are looking for a quick and interesting read, it is still a great choice.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Nice
    Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2025

    I liked this book. The main character is smart and strong, which I loved. She needed to be saved from the bad guy but she could run and fight. These are reasons I gave four starts instead of five. It was a short story - it did feel a little rushed (somewhat unbelievable). The editor could have done a better job checking for grammar mistakes. I think when they changed the words in the sentences, they forgot to change the grammar. I’m a foreigner, if I can catch a mistake missed by the editor, I get annoyed.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great new suspense
    Reviewed in Australia on October 21, 2024

    I use to avoid suspense books but am finding I enjoy suspense with a romantic element. Heavy suspense I will still normally avoid. This falls into the suspense with a romantic element. The book starts with Milla witnessing a crime and finds herself in danger. When she arrives at the police station she needs to go into hiding.

    This is where Roarke and his families ranch come into play. Here she should be hidden away and safe. She also meets his mother and nephew who both are special people.

    Have you ever watched a mystery and something happens outside and you say to the characters don't go out, hide. Well I found a few of these moments in this book. The book flows well and doesn't get bogged down, it move forward at a good rate.

    While I had some thoughts at different times about who could be involved but on the whole I was kept guessing. I look forward to more books in the series.

    If you enjoy Romantic Suspense with a good story I am sure you will enjoy this book. If you are looking for the suspense rating I would equate it to a Love Inspired Suspense book.
