I love that we've taken Eddie and Harry out of New York and given them a whole load of rural-deep-south hostility from the locals to deal with. It changes up the narrative a bit and is a good point in the series to mix things up. The new foursome with Kate and Bloch is also working brilliantly, and I can't get enough of them all together!
This story is bleak, and highlights some of the problems that are still so prevalent in parts of the US (racism, corruption, political extremism). It's a little scary how easily this could all be true. It was wonderful having this group of inherently good people in the fight, but my goodness it was shocking the lengths some of the characters went to in order to further their cause. For a time we really couldn't trust anyone.
I absolutely love it when Eddie - and now Kate - takes someone down in the courtroom. This is where this whole series shines and The Devil's Advocate doesn't disappoint. This installment felt so unique, and between that and the wonderful characters it might be my favourite Eddie Flynn so far. We got to know (and love) Kate and Bloch better, Harry is settling into a bigger role with Eddie, and I can't wait to read the next one and see how it continues.
