Two sisters. One dead dad. Who is guilty?

***

This was actually my first Steve Cavanagh novel, and I am very excited to have discovered him. This was a well paced thriller that kept you guessing from one page to the next. I think the narrative structure worked really well. I absolutely ADORED Eddie Flynn and his team of crime fighters.

I was totally thrown by the death of a clearly big character. Takes guts to take someone out like that.

There were some legal ethics that were slightly dubious, but I imagine that is Eddie's schtick. And who cares if they are all that lovable?

Would recommend this to fan's of the series, or new readers looking to jump into Steve Cavanagh's world. I'm looking forward to diving in myself!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for my ARC in exchange for this honest review.

Firstly, for anyone who starts reading this and worries: NO HARM COMES TO THE DOG!
Compelling thriller, with a very interesting premise. Kept changing my mind on who was guilty. Knocking a star off for having a few clichéd characters, but overall, this did not detract from my enjoyment of this book.
