Former mayor Frank Avelino has been brutally murdered. Both his daughters were at the scene, covered in blood. Both called 911 claiming their sister killed him, the DA has enough evidence to charge both with first degree murder. Eddie Flynn takes on one sister as his client, sure that she's innocent, and bright young attorney Kate Brooks defends the other, equally sure her client didn't do it. They can't both be wrong, and now it's up to a jury to decide.
Eddie Flynn #5 is a great example of switching things up to keep things fresh. The narration shifts between Eddie, Kate, and the killer, and works well to keep the reader guessing. That being said, the twist was pretty predictable. And Eddie is starting to come across a bit holier-than-thou. But the series is still good fun and exciting!
