dark mysterious fast-paced

4.0

Found about this author from a book club podcast and wow is he good. Twists and turns until the very last page - he really keeps you on your toes. Just when you think you’ve figured it out, there’s another curveball. The characters are well developed and layered too (men, women, victims, murderer etc.). I found myself really identifying with some of the female characters. I loved the insight into the American legal system too. BRB reading all Cavanagh’s stuff now.
