Split between perspectives, you have Flynn representing Sofia, his opposite Kate representing Alexandra and the perspective of one of the sisters; the guilty party, but which one it is stays murky up until the final reveal. This is clever and well written, keeping the reader on their toes and uncertain of how the case will play out and indeed which of the sister's is guilty. It's built up well, as Flynn pulls together evidence and then the courtroom drama unfolds. It's a constant push-pull of who is guilty and who is innocent.
All in all, a great read that was both great fun and a twisty page turner. I will get around to reading the rest of this series eventually.

It was fantastic!!
I honestly had no idea which sister killed there dad. I had a small bit of suspicion for Sofia at the start, but then it pointed more towards Alexandra and I actually believed it was her when she was found to be guilty.
At the beginning I thought that Kate would immediately join Eddie and create a partnership. But when I found out that they were going against each other I was a bit disappointed. But i was very happy at the end when they decided to create a firm together.
I still can’t get over the fact that Harper got killed, especially when Eddie was just discovering his feelings for her!! That was just downright heartbreaking. Eddie did not deserve that after everything he has been through in his life.
I thought that the plot of the book was well thought out and incredibly intense the whole way through the book.
The writing is quite challenging, especially with all the law terminology. It’s quite hard to remember what some of the law terminology is.
It was quite slow and hard to get into reading this book initially, but once the plot and the characters were laid out the pace picked up dramatically.
I would definitely recommend reading this book. And to read this book you don’t necessarily need to read the other Eddie Flynn books that become before this one, even though it would be useful as you have more depth of the characters and there are small mentions about previous books, but nothing that would impact the plot.

This novel is great because it grips you from the very first chapter. The storyline is intriguing. The characters are easy to love with a lot of development and the plot twist is amazing. My favourite chapters in any type of these books are when the main character figures everything out and has a game plan. You feel hype out for the character and want him to succeed. The one thing I would say that I didn’t like personally, a book peeve of mine, is small chapters. However, for once it worked. Especially as the tension was building and then changed to somewhere else. This was the second time this series had multiple POVs which just made it better and I loved it. Especially as you don’t know exactly which sister did it. So Eddie was thinking it was someone completely different and we believed him and it all didn’t come out until the end.
I liked this book but I thought it was slower than his previous books and obviously due to the events of this book, I was missing one key person in this book and it hurt me and I was Eddie to have a happy life please.
