Fifty-Fifty by Steve Cavanagh
3.0
Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for a complimentary early release copy of Fifty Fifty by Steve Cavanagh.
We get quite a few different perspectives in Fifty Fifty mainly from the lawyers perspectives. My favorite parts of the story have to be the perspective of “She” I really enjoyed those parts. I liked the gory aspects and thrilling moments but most of the story is a bunch of lawyer mumbo-jumbo that I struggled to understand and honestly found to be a bit boring to read. I didn’t know this author nor did I realize this was part of a series called Eddie Flynn (a lawyer series).It looks like the series can all be read as stand alone books but you’d probably have a better understanding/feel of the characters if you’d read them in order. The book does give some background on Eddie so I wasn’t left completely in the dark about his character.
I thought there were going to be more scenes or perspectives between the two sisters, I would have liked to see how things had played out from their perspectives before and after the crime had happened. The sisters themselves are interesting characters, the story does really make you switch sides between the two making it a literal Fifty Fifty on who to believe. The way things played out were interesting but a bit confusing at times, the story has an equal mix of characters that I liked and despised. Some of the reveals played out nicely but after the end of the story I’m left just feeling okay about things.
