Another fabulous book in the Eddie Flynn series! I loved everything about this book. I could not put it down! There was twists, turns and everything I would want in a thriller!

There isn’t enough I could say about how good this book is! I was hooked from page one, and I think my favourite thing was I was guessing up until the end and that is my kinda read! I couldn’t put this one down and I was holding my breath!

It was captivated from page one to the end!! I read this in a couple of hours on part of my commute, I just couldn’t put it down, I was gripped! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time!


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐️ stars!

4.5

It’s social media influencer, Elly and James’ sixth month anniversary and she’s going to prepare a nice surprise for him, only she’s the one that gets a surprise. A nasty one with millions watching the betrayal. Two weeks ago everything is perfect and her 5 million and counting audience know it, because she trends partly because of #RAK (Random Acts of Kindness). Two weeks later she helps someone struggling in New York’s Grand Central Station, a random act of kindness that plunges her into a nightmare. Cue Eddie Flynn to the rescue, cape and all. The novel is told from several points of view which works extremely well.

A new Eddie Flynn is a cause for a celebratory happy dance and inevitably, exhilarating reading. Right from the start it’s very entertaining as Eddie goes into bat for the “little guy” about to lose it all. You’ve gotta love Eddie and the team – Kate Brooks, Bloch, Gabriel Lake, Harry Ford (not forgetting Clarence, his dog) and Denise. As ever it’s action packed, at times it’s dark but with humour sprinkled throughout which is a great combination leading to an addictive read.

It captures Elly’s fears perfectly (though her blog teeters into nauseatingly saccharine!), Eddie’s confidence and trickery, Kate’s trepidation, the steadfastness of Harry and the ready for anything of Bloch and Lake. They’re up against quite an adversary this time, a shadowy one step ahead opponent and they’re really up against it. This is a “never rains but it pours “ read as manipulative pressure piles on pressure.

There aren’t as many zingy courtroom exchanges this time, Kate is definitely not at the top of her game and there aren’t many Eddie tricks, flicks and shenanigans. However, it’s still very good and thoroughly enjoyable, and I like how the storylines intertwine. There are one or two fortuitous occurrences but hey, it’s fiction and there’s an excellent final twist. Well played sir.

Overall, I’ll happily read another and another Eddie Flynn, what higher praise can you give than that?

With thanks to NetGalley and especially to Headline for the much appreciated early copy in return for an honest review.

I am not one for throwing out five star ratings, I my opinion this novel, the newest one about to come out in print book 9 justifies as a cracking excellent read. Great characters, set in the world of US courts, Eddie Flynn ex conman turned lawyer using his unique talents to ensure those who are being prosecuted receive justice, 'stepping over the line when he needed to, but always to help someone else, having never left the life of a con artist behind' The novel is an easy read with great story line which got my heart pounding and when the court scene played out made my arm hairs stan up. Recommended big time. Thank you NetGalley, publisher and author for being offered to review pre publication. The review is entirely my own

Sheer perfection! From the writing style, the original plot, the characters, absolutely everything is the very top tier of thriller writing. Its a mist read and I cant rate it highly enough. I was enthralled every second and it had the most amazing twists!!! Like.... my kind is blown. Amazing!!!

Living a celebrity life in the public eye is all well and good, until things start going wrong.

So when Ellie Parker is at her most vulnerable, the only person she can turn to for help is Eddie Flynn.

But the price of help is sometimes too high...

Another brilliant instalment to theis always excellent series

This is a brilliantly twisty crime with a very clever killer and a TikTok star who in trying to encourage kindness ends up being framed for murder when her videos come to the attention of the killer. Con artist turned lawyer Eddie Flynn gets tasked with her defence and I love the way some issues his family have been having gets twisted into an even bigger problem due to him defending the TikTok star. There’s a degree of the underhanded tricks you’d expect from Eddie but he doesn’t cross the line as much as I’d have expected and even Bloch is relatively controlled in this. That said the story intertwines really well with no shortage of action and some clever moves all round, I love the twist at the end, really finished the book off well and I look forward to reading the next book.
