Steve Cavanagh’s Fifty Fifty is the kind of thriller that grabs you by the collar, shoves you into a courtroom, and doesn’t let go until the final gavel drop. Two sisters, one dead father, and a legal battle where both claim the other is the murderer—this book is a masterclass in deception.

Cavanagh’s signature fast pacing keeps the pages flying, and the alternating perspectives (including one from the real killer) create a psychological game of cat and mouse. Eddie Flynn is back in action, and as usual, he’s a defense attorney you actually want on your side—sharp, relentless, and just a little bit morally flexible.

The best part? The guessing game. I had my suspicions, I made my predictions, and I was still second-guessing myself up until the big reveal. If you love legal thrillers packed with tension, sharp dialogue, and enough plot twists to make your head spin, Fifty Fifty is an absolute must-read.

Final verdict? Guilty of being unputdownable.
