At first I wasn’t sure about reading this book as it had been on my tbr for quite some time, but i am sooo glad I picked this book up and decided to read it.
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.

Excellent thriller that made me desperate to keep reading and find out who was guilty. The writing style was dark and a little heavy at times, which added to the atmosphere. The story delved into other topics and storylines that helped add character development and greater complexity. Overall, very much enjoyed this and will definitely be looking to add more by this author to my tbr. Please be aware there are several strong trigger warnings with this book, so make sure you are comfortable with those before beginning.
