Many thanks to Atria Books for the gifted physical copy of Fifty Fifty by Steve Cavanagh and to NetGalley for the gifted kindle copy. I enjoyed reading on both formats. All opinions are my own. 

This was really good! It kept me guessing and had me stumped for a bit there. I love a book where you feel you can’t trust anyone and your mind changes 10 different times deciding the whodunnit of it all. The title was so fitting for this book because I too felt a fifty fifty split of who the culprit was. 

A father murdered and his two daughters on trial for his murder. When the murder took place in his home a man Frank Avelino’s two daughters Sofia and Alexandra each called 911 from the home accusing the other of brutally murdering their father. 

I love a procedural / legal thriller. I enjoyed seeing both of the lawyers points of views and how the case was built for each sister. It can go either way. Fifty fifty which daughter is it?
