A review by bibliotequeish
Fifty Fifty by Steve Cavanagh

3.0

Defense attorney Eddie Flynn takes on a high-profile case where two sisters stand trial for killing their powerful father. Both claim innocence. Both say the other did it.


As the courtroom battle unfolds, it becomes a tense race to uncover who’s lying, and who’s capable of murder.

This is my second Steven Cavanagh book, and my second Eddie Flynn book. While I genuinely enjoyed both, I ran into the same issue with this one as I did with the first: it took me forever to finish.

When I was actively reading, I thought it was great. The writing is sharp, the plot is clever, and the courtroom drama is solid. But the moment I set it down, I completely forgot about it. There just wasn’t that pull, no burning urge to pick it back up or stay up late turning pages.


I can’t quite explain why, but it took me an entire month to finish this book.
Enjoyable? Yes. Unputdownable? Not quite.
