Steve Cavanagh

Alexandra Avellino has just found her father's mutilated body, and needs the police right away. She believes her sister killed him, and that she is still in the house with a knife. Sofia Avellino has just found her father's mutilated body and needs the police right away. She believes her sister, Alexandra did it, and that she is still in the house, locked in the bathroom. Both women are to go on trial at the same time. A joint trial in front of one jury. But one of these women is lying. One of them is a murderer. Sitting in a jail cell, about to go on trial with her sister for murder, you might think that this is the last place she expected to be. You'd be wrong.

Former NYC mayor, Frank Avellino, is brutally murdered, and two 911 calls pleading for help come from inside the house at the same time- from each of his daughters, accusing each other of the murder.

The premise of this book really grabbed me. It was unique, and exciting to try to figure out which sister (if either), was guilty of the crime, and why they would want to accuse each other. The fact that the author chose to present the story via multiple POV, including that of the killer (whose POV was simply labeled 'She'), was one of my favorite parts. I really enjoyed getting to see the inner workings of both legal teams prep for the double defendant trial, and how their strategies changed throughout the trial as well, while trying to line up clues from the 'She' chapters against what both lawyers experienced with their clients.

The twists are breakneck, I couldn't put this one down, I absolutely loved it.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher, Atria, for the digital ARC and chance to review this book. All thoughts are my own :)

“There are victims who get drowned in their loss. It takes everything away from them — taste, smell, love, security, sanity. Grief is a great thief.”

This book had me in a chokehold, i kid you not. First five star read of the year and a beyond brilliant one to start with.

Couldn’t put it down. One of those books where you can’t call it a night after reading a few chapters - you just want to know what happens!

This was an enjoyable read. I have found Steve Cavanagh is a great thriller writer. However this book managed to be both predictable and not predictable at the same time. I had a good idea what the outcome of the story would be but was very intrigued at the series of events which unfolded to get there

I love Eddie Flynn. I’m not a fan of legal thrillers in general - I get a bit bored if I can’t watch the pretty people rushing around in suits and high heels throwing paper at each other and chugging coffee like their lives depend on it. But boy do I love Eddie Flynn.

These books are easy to read, they explain everything you need to know, and the twists are fantastic. I was still guessing until the big reveal about how this book was going to end.

Thoroughly recommend this book to people looking to start in the legal thriller genre or thriller veterans looking for something a bit different. Even though Thirteen is not the start of the series, that’s the one I read first and I would recommend starting there.

Een bloedspannende nieuwe Eddie Flynn-thriller van Steve Cavanagh, de auteur van Dertien en Verdraaid. De zussen Alexandra en Sofia Avellino hebben net, afzonderlijk van elkaar, het verminkte lichaam van hun vader gevonden. Doodsbang bellen ze allebei de politie. Ze weten het zeker: de ander heeft het gedaan. Maar een van de vrouwen liegt! Een van deze vrouwen is de echte moordenaar. Beide zussen worden in hechtenis genomen, in afwachting van een eventuele veroordeling voor moord. Je zou denken dat dit wel de laatste plek op aarde is waar de schuldige hoopte te eindigen. Maar dan heb je het mis. En dan is het aan advocaat Eddie Flynn om de waarheid te achterhalen...
