THE SERIAL KILLER ISN'T ON TRIAL.

HE'S ON THE JURY...

When I read this teaser  on the cover, I immediately wanted to read it and find out how a serial killer got a seat on the jury and how this show would play out!

This is #4 in this popular series and now I know why. This worked just fine as a stand-alone. I was easily pulled into the story with the super suspenseful beginning and questions quickly started swirling around in my thoughts.

I'm a huge fan of courtroom dramas and legal thrillers and this one did not disappoint. A celebrity named Robert Soloman is charged with murder and goes on trial, but his lawyer,  Eddie Flynn sees that somethings just don't add up. Okay, Eddie is Brilliant!!

It was a perfect book for a buddy read and we had a great time trying to find all the pieces to solve the big puzzle. We were able to find some hints to what was coming, but we were also surprised! The creative plot and fascinating characters kept me engaged and there was just the right amount of action to add some tension.

Recommend to fans of legal crime fiction/ courtroom dramas with a touch of dark and disturbing!

I haven't read more of this series. I also enjoy legal thriller stand-alones. Anything with a trial or backstabbing lawyers!


Jayme I really enjoyed this one too! Great review! 💕


Jennifer ~ TarHeelReader Love the review, Holls! Good to know it can stand alone and that is an intriguing premise for sure!

Kerrin Awesome review, Holly!!


Regina Now having finished this, I can totally see how it would make an awesome buddy read. Awesome (old) review, Holly! ;)


message 37: by Barbara (new)

Barbara Fun!! Killer in the jury....love it!


Laurie This was my first Steve Cavanaugh and now I just inhale anything else he writes. The tricky part is some our hard to find in the US. I currently have his latest Eddie Flynn in route from the UK.


Sunflowerbooklover Ooooo Holls! This one sound so good! Must add.


MarilynW I'm looking forward to getting to this one, eventually. Wonderful review, Holly!
