I may have to read the whole Eddie Flynn series after starting with this explosive book. I love the dual perspectives in the chapters, so we immediately begin to get inside the serial killer's head. But it managed to keep enough surprise for a great twist reveal at the end.
I also found the courtroom drama really interesting; it was written in just the right way to present facts and evidence that made me question the verdict, but it never got bogged down in lists of facts. Court scenes have to be so static that they risk being repetitive but this was really interesting.
Part thriller, part legal drama, part murder mystery. It's such an enjoyable story.

Part legal thriller, part police procedural, part straight-up serial killer. I loved it all. So fast paced, I could have read it in one sitting if life allowed me to. This is my second Eddie Flynn novel by this author and it will not be my last. People I trust have told me these don't need to be read in order and since at this point I have only read #1 and #4 I can confirm that is true!

Great thriller with many twists and turns. I read this book for its plot but I also loved many of the characters. Eddie is such a great flawed protagonist and I really liked the side characters Harry and Harper. And Kane, altought he is obviously horrible, I loved reading his chapters because he's such an interesting character.

Me gustan los buenos thrillers y me gustan las series de juicios así que este libro me ha encantado.
Odio las reseñas que son: "buenísimo. engancha." En plan, ¿eso es lo mejor que puedes decir del libro? Pero bueno, para quien le interese: engancha. No solo engancha sino que tiene un ritmo muy bueno y la forma en la que está narrado, como una "batalla de ingenios", hace que sea muy emocionante de leer.
El autor es abogado y bastante self-aware de que su profesión es una performance: eso está plasmado tremendamente bien. Es como si el libro dijera: sit back and enjoy the show.
Solo le pongo una pega y es que la resolución del libro es un poco liosa y apresurada para mi gusto, pero fue un final muy satisfactorio. Además reconozco que me gusta cuando los libros intentan despistarte y hacerte pensar cosas que no son para que no resuelvas el misterio antes que el protagonista, pero es que este libro literalmente TE MIENTE. Estoy un poco escocida la verdad.
(Técnicamente es cuarto libro de saga, pero se lee perfectamente).
