Another smart and twisty thriller by Steve Cavanagh! Every book I read by him further cements him as one of my absolute favorite thriller authors.
Alexandra and Sofia are sisters on trial for the murder of their father. Odds are 50/50… Will the right sister be convicted?
I love the way Cavanagh creates characters that are as well developed and thoughtful as his storylines. There is depth and emotion that goes further than the suspense, anticipation, and butterflies in the tummy that you expect from a thriller… but that’s all there too!
Eddie Flynn is a favorite MMC of mine and this novel just solidified that even further. But really, Kate was the shining star in this one for me. Getting to know the roots of her character, watching her stand her ground against shitty men (gimme all that feminine rage please), and seeing her growth as this novel went on was perfection. Cavanagh does a really commendable job writing both male and female characters in a realistic and respectful way.
This is my second book from the Eddie Flynn series and certainly won’t be my last.
🎧 Adam Sims is absolute perfection in his narration of this series. He brings the characters to life and keeps the emotion and suspense palpable. As long as he keeps narrating, I will keep reading these with both my ears and eyes.
