-Classic Cavanagh: twisty, smart, and impossible to put down.

-This is book 5 in the Eddie Flynn series, but you can totally read it as a standalone.

-The courtroom drama here is top tier, and I loved the trial portion. 

-It’s told in multiple POVs, including Eddie, Kate, and the anonymous killer’s POV listed only as “she, which added a layer of suspense.

-I changed my mind like five times about who the guilty sister was.

-If you’re into legal thrillers with morally messy characters, you’ll fly through this.

⸻

TL;DR ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Super satisfying legal thriller with dual murder suspects, shady family secrets, and two smart attorneys going head to head. Fast-paced, cleverly plotted, and full of courtroom tension. Great entry in the Eddie Flynn series, but totally works on its own.
