Ooh this was a good one! It was fast paced, had short chapters, different POV’s to liven up the story and a great ending.

Honestly, I thought I was going to be disappointed because once again I thought I was super smart and figured it all out - well not even smart because I thought Steve was making it far too obvious but I’m glad the final result was satisfying. This was my first Eddie Flynn crime book and it was interesting learning about his character and his friends; I didn’t realise this was from a stand alone series so I can’t wait to read the rest which will give more context to him and his story. I really felt for him at times, especially after Harper even though I don’t yet know their history.

I really liked the characters and the witty lawyer humour, sometimes I felt I was reading an episode of Suits, specifically the hot dog scene at the end. I found Kate to be a bit of a drag at the beginning and didn’t care much for her story but grew to really like her character and was glad she came out on top on the other side, getting her revenge. The description of the body and the murders were really well written and honestly made me squirm and my stomach clench as it was pretty gruesome stuff. 

I didn’t have a favourite between Alexandra and Sofia. From the ‘She’ chapters I was of course convinced it was Alexandra’s POV given the clues and the descriptions. So then it being flipped to Sofia was an interesting take but maybe makes some details not fully add up. I also feel the whole bite mark on Frank’s chest was completely overlooked, like why did no one seem surprised or grossed out by this? 

This was a great book and I look forward to reading more courtroom drama’s, especially Steve’s other books which I have stacked on my shelf. Also pop off Belfast author!!
