"Fifty Fifty" by Steve Cavanagh is an absolute rollercoaster of a thriller! Just when you think you've figured out who the killer is, another twist throws everything into question. The tension is relentless, the courtroom drama is gripping, and the twists keep coming right up until the final pages. If you love a book that keeps you guessing, this one is a must-read!

I’m pretty sure my husband is sick of hearing me say how good this book is as I was reading it, but he’ll understand come June when I thrust a copy in his hands and tell him to get started.
Sophia and Alexandria are sisters both claiming the other brutally murdered their father. Eddie Flynn, one of the sisters attorneys and a recurring character for Steve Cavanagh, is a character I could read more and more about. I’m so anxious to dive into more of the Eddie Flynn books.
This book is everything you want a thriller to be. So many moments that have you questioning everything, flipping sides, wondering “WHAT WILL HAPPEN?!”, and reading the “SHE” chapters completely engrossed and terribly disturbed.
Will absolutely be preordering a physical copy of this book and shouting recommendations for it at whoever will listen (and those who aren’t asking too).
A top read for 2025 and I’m positive it will remain that way despite it being only March 11th.

Excellent thriller! I love how Cavanaugh writes and pulls the reader along into the story. The premise gets you from the get-go, and it holds you there until the very end! Can’t wait to read the next one!

I have mixed feelings on this book. Although I liked the premise and I do enjoy reading about Eddie Flynn in court, this all just fell a bit flat for me. It was a bit odd at time jumping POV's and felt like both so much was happening and nothing was happening all in the same breath. I rapidly grew tired of reading about the sexual harassment Kate was putting up with at work. The actual court case itself perked the book back up and the thought that went in to all the false trails that were planned (even if the fact they were false trails was a little obvious). However, some of the chapters just felt like a slog to get through and by the time I was done, I was glad it was over. It gave very mam's book club pick vibes to me,
