Fantastic thriller! One of my favourites that actually had a satisfying ending. I found the sense of ‘evil’ in one character a bit MUCH (cartoony almost?) but otherwise absolutely fantastic

When I saw the blurb for this book I was immediately intrigued. Two sisters on trial, accusing each other of murdering their father.
I loved that this story was told mostly from the point of view of the lawyers representing each sister, with some chapters interspersed from the true killer. I think this story was paced well and the parts were broken up well. The courtroom drama felt very authentic, and I learned in the acknowledgments that Steve Cavanagh was a lawyer.
This was definitely a very gripping story and I was on the fence the whole time about who really killed Frank Avellino. In the end, I think justice was served!
Thank you Atria and NetGalley for the eARC!

When two sisters are both charged with murdering their father, what happens? You get a gripping, edge of your seat crime procedural with lots of twists and lots of drama. This was the first Eddie Flynn novel that I've read, but it certainly won't be the last! This was fast paced, and super enjoyable.
Solid legal thriller. I was on the edge of my seat and could not put down. Although this is the 5th book in the Eddie Flynn series, you can easily follow along with the story line and don't need to have read the others before picking this one up. However, I will be reading the rest of the series just because I really love the characters and want to know what happens to them, and to get more of their backstories. Fans of this genre will definitely love this one! Thank you Atria books and NetGalley for the eARC!

Este es el primer libro que he leído (traducido al español) de Steve Cavanagh. El personaje de Eddie Flint es simpático pero un poco cliché (atormentado porque no puede compaginar una vida de familia con su “arriesgada” vida profesional) esto chirría un poco porque en realidad es un abogado penalista y no un espía o agente infiltrado…
Lo que me ha gustado: contar un crimen desde el punto de vista de los abogados defensores, el trabajo con el fiscal etc.
La premisa : un caso aparentemente insoluble porque es imposible decidir qué hermana es culpable.
El libro está escrito con un estilo correcto, sin metáforas que chirríen u otros errores gordos que pueden encontrarse en este tipo de libro.
Lo que no me ha gustado tanto : la trama excesivamente complicada para justificar las acciones del asesino, creo que el caso hubiera sido igual de interesante y el libro más eficaz sin todas las volteretas que hace el hilo argumental.
Los personajes: bastante caricaturales, los buenos son muy buenos y los malos terriblemente malvados
