Another incredible story in the Eddie Flynn series! I have loved every single one of these books so far and once again, this one did not disappoint.

I felt so many emotions for Eddie in this book, my heart broke for him in so many ways but his character was still brilliant all the way through. I also loved Kate who is a new character in this series and loved the way the book ends. It makes me excited for the next in the series! I also really enjoyed Bloch’s character, she reminded me a lot of Lisbeth Salander in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo series and I really liked that.

This book was exceptionally clever and addictive, and I really loved the storyline and the elements to this case. My only gripe is that I kinda figured who the actual killer was quite early on in the book, and although Cavanagh did his best to make me doubt this and flit from one sister to another, ultimately, I had been right at the start. Despite this though, I could never have predicted how exactly the sister had pulled it all off and didn’t expect that ending either. So overall, a solid 4.5 stars and another fantastic read!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

the whole book i kept going back and forth on who done it… i was locked in but i just couldn’t let me mind settle on who was the actually murderer. 

I really enjoyed this book. I did feel like i wasn’t getting enough to help me make a decision on who did it but once i finished, i remembered a few bread crumbs that would have made it more obvious that i just wasn’t focusing on. The writing style also had me hooked and anyone that knows me knows i LOVE a multi POV. 

I’ll definitely be reading the whole Eddie Flynn series. 



Steve Cavanagh’s Fifty Fifty is a masterfully crafted legal thriller packed with twists and turns that kept me hooked from start to finish. This was my first time reading a book by Cavanagh, and I was blown away by the unpredictable plot and gripping courtroom drama. 

Even though Fifty Fifty is part of the Eddie Flynn series, I didn’t feel lost at all. It works perfectly as a standalone novel, and now I’m eager to go back and read more of Cavanagh’s books. His writing style is sharp, fast-paced, and packed with tension—everything I love in a thriller.

If you enjoy legal thrillers with unpredictable twists, Fifty Fifty is a must-read. I can’t wait to dive into more of Steve Cavanagh’s work!


Another great one, I love Eddie Flynn probably my favorite legal thriller series. This book keeps you on edge the whole time. I needed to know what was going to happen next and how Eddie was going to argue things in court. I really enjoyed the “She” chapters and that you kept thinking you knew who the killer was. There was sadness but also loved the ending and can’t wait for more!
