I read book five in this series a couple of months ago, and it was just okay. This one is just okay as well, but I have to admit I enjoyed it a little bit more. Even though it isn’t the most amazing book ever, I liked it for the most part. This is another tale of Eddie Flynn, and this time the case is about a man facing the death penalty for a murder he claims he didn’t commit, and the situation looks very bleak.
The plot for this one is very fast-paced, and it’s the type of book you can’t wait to finish because you want to know what happens next. Everyone in this town is an asshole; there isn’t one redeeming quality in the bunch. I love how Steve Cavanagh writes court scenes, and his experience as a lawyer comes through. I wish there were more of them in this one. The trope of the white city lawyer saving the Black southern defendant has been done to death, though.
Overall, the book was an entertaining, if somewhat predictable read. It had me wanting to know more, but this series is very formulaic, in my opinion. Steve Cavanagh certainly writes a good legal thriller, even if they are a little contrived.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.
