PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Cavanagh's suspenseful latest case for con man–turned–defense attorney Eddie Flynn (after Witness 8) centers on two sisters who accuse each other of murder. One night, Alexandra and Sofia Avellino separately call 911 to report that their father, former New York City mayor Frank Avellino, has been stabbed in their Manhattan apartment—and that the other sister was the assailant. Frank dies from his wounds, and both women are arrested. Sofia retains Flynn to represent her, and he sets out to determine whether her accusation against Alexandra is true. He quickly finds that both Sofia and Alexandra were abused by their mother, Jane Marsden, as children, and comes to suspect that Frank's murder may be the work of a serial killer. Cavanagh maximizes suspense throughout, alternating chapters from Flynn's perspective and that of the unidentified murderer, until the proceedings culminate in the jury's verdict and a knockout final reveal. This satisfying legal thriller will keep readers guessing to the very end.
Customer Reviews
3.5 Stars
Can’t quite give this 4 stars as bits of it are quite ridiculous (a multi millionaire who didn’t have any staff and whose daughters cooked for him every day?). But the (good) characters are very likeable and about halfway through I started to really enjoy it.
Another Enjoyable Eddie Flynn Adventure
Steve Cavanagh is an auto buy for me. I love his writing and Eddie Flynn is one of my all time favourite characters. This was an enjoyable read but it did take some time to get going and I did guess who the killer was. I’ve never been a fan of constantly switching points of view and I think that spoiled it a little for me. I’m liking where Mr Cavanagh is taking Eddie’s story. I’ve already got the next one ready to read!
Just one more chapter...
Too many late nights where I would get to the end of a chapter and just have to read the next one! Loved it
Just going order another book from this author
