Paulson and her book Adams Witness. Grace Rampling, a reporter on assignment, discovers that the Catholic cathedral has cancelled a performance by the Pride Choir. Seeking an interview, she literally stumbles over the bishop's body lying before the altar. Detective Sergeant Adam Davis is assigned the case and as he investigates, he begins to wonder — was this a hate crime? And will his witness also become a victim? Adam's Witness is "real, timely, relevant and damn hard to put down."Adam's Witness: 4.5 stars out of 5 with 163 Amazon reviews, available in ebook (just .99!) and paperback. ► We rely on your support in every way to keep this show alive. We thank you and appreciate every one of you.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-writing-community-chat-show--5445493/support.Connect With The Community🏆 Ranked #3 Writing Podcast in the UK (2025) The WCCS is more than a show; it’s a masterclass in the craft and business of storytelling.
