Another good, fast paced Eddie Flynn mystery solved.
I always enjoy the different perspectives and how to yea all come crashing together with regular plot twists and reveals.

Eddie is surrounded by lots of key helpers and each have their own stories they bring to the table, sometimes it’s hard to remember who’s who!

On the whole, I wasn’t blow away, but the story kept me o treated and I wasn’t disappointed.

Another brilliant book by Steve Cavanagh. I'm excited every time I hear he has a new book coming out. The Eddie Flynn series is excellent. Flynn is a con man turned lawyer. But as we know from his previous books, he likes to defend the innocent. If I were ever in trouble, I'd like someone like Eddie to defend me. This is exactly what TikTok star Ellie Parker thinks, assuming she'd never need to... until she does.

Flynn and his brilliant team believe her to be innocent and use their detective skills to look for evidence to prove her innocence. In this book, it becomes quite a challenge as there are a lot of people who are making sure the evidence shows guilt.

I love the way Eddie and his team work. The other lawyer, Kate, is more of a " by the book" lawyer. So it's good to see how they work together.

Cavanagh's writing is clever and entertaining and makes me want to keep reading and reading. I'm already hoping the next in the series will come soon.

This could be read as a stand alone, but it would be so much better to read the series from the start, so you get to know all the characters better.

Flynn has another distraction in this book, as his ex-wife is also in a bit of trouble.
I can't rave highly enough about this series and this book. They get better as the series goes along.
Simply Excellent and 5 glowing shiny stars from me.

Influencer Elly Parker was living her best life until the day she found her husband in bed with her friend. However, even through the tragedy, Elly continues her mission to be kind until the day whe helps a stranger and finds herself charged with murder. Eddie Flynn is the defender of lost causes but even he and his team are stretched with his ex-wife and her new husband are accused of murder. Now Eddie has to win two show trials and deal with a master manipulator who lives in the shadows.
A new Steve Cavanagh book is a real joy because the reader knows exactly what they will get. This is an exciting, high octane thriller which twists and turns its way through two disparate cases. The plot is tight and well constructed with enough surprises to really engage. Whilst the ending wasn't necessarily surprising, it was great!

Having read several of Steve Cavanagh’s previous books, I was really looking forward to Two Kinds of Stranger, and it absolutely delivered.

The return of Eddie Flynn and his loyal team meant I knew I was in safe hands from the start. Cavanagh has such a great handle on pacing, courtroom drama, and character development, and this book is no exception. The plot moves at a sharp, engaging pace, packed with clever twists and just the right amount of tension to keep you hooked. Eddie remains one of the most compelling legal thriller protagonists out there — sharp, flawed, and impossible not to root for.

Without spoiling anything, I’ll say that the story is both timely and thought-provoking, with a solid emotional core beneath the legal fireworks. It's not quite a 5-star for me — maybe just a touch predictable in a few spots — but still a fantastic read overall.

Highly recommended for fans of legal thrillers and anyone who enjoys a smart, fast-paced mystery with a great cast of characters. Can’t wait for the next one!

Another 5 star book from Steve Cavanagh! I cannot get enough of this series.
It was fast paced and kept me on my toes. I really enjoyed the fact that we had a POV from the killer and I also like that we get multiple POVs within the book. It keeps it interesting and we get the story from different view points.
I love that there are recurring characters in the series but I also like that you can pick up any of the books and dive right in.
Keep em coming Steve, this series is the best!

"Her face was so full of life it made him wonder what she would look like dead."

Well, Steven Cavanagh just never misses! He is slowly becoming one of my favourite authors. His storytelling is brilliant - I was hooked from the beginning and ended up reading it all in one go!

Firstly, I didn't realise this was part of the Eddie Flynn series, when I first requested it on Netgalley, so I was worried that I'd be a bit lost going straight into Book 9. However, I didn't feel like I'd missed anything - I can only assume they are standalone books that follow the same detective.

This book discusses quite a few topics, the main one being the overuse of social media. The quote that haunted me the most was:
"because you put out a lot about your personal life on your social media. That's how the killer was able to know so much about you."
This honestly left me with goosebumps because it is so true! I don't have my own children yet, but the thought of young, innocent children having access to social media terries me.

I must say, at the beginning of the book, I wasn't sure how I felt about following the murderer's POV, as usually the reveal of the murderer is the twist and I was worried it wouldn't have as big of a 'wow' factor. But I can reassure you all...that 'wow' factor was definitely there! I was on tenterhooks the entire read.

Overall, I thought this was a brilliant novel and I am absolutely going to be reading the other titles in this collection.

This was a great, twisty thriller that i thoroughly enjoyed reading. I could never guess where this was going or how the stories were linked absolutley brilliant.

Two Kinds of Stranger is the first book I've read by Steve Cavanagh but I'm now keen to read more.
An interesting plot, great twists, full of tension - a brilliant thriller.
4 stars.

Steve Cavanagh has yet again smashed it out of the park with this the ninth novel in the Eddie Flynn series . Honestly I am completely in awe I’d this author and the books he writes . I read this one in just over a day and from start to finish I was 💯 absorbed In the story. A massive 5 stars from me.

Eddie Flynn, ex-conman and now lawyer defending the innocent has to fire fight on two fronts in this latest book. When a well-known and well-loved social media influencer is attacked, no-one believes her especially when all the evidence points to her being guilty of homicide.

Eddie and his team are engaged to defend her but this is one of their most difficult cases yet as they keep hitting dead ends in their quest to uncover the truth.

Meanwhile, Eddie's ex-wife and her new husband are under threat and when they are also accused of homicide Eddie and his team are stretched to the limit as they desperately seek to fight two big cases simultaneously.

This is brilliantly plotted and another sure-fire winner from Mr Cavanagh. It earns a well earned 5 stars from me.

3 stars for the latest instalment in the fabulous Eddie Flynn series, where Eddie has not one but two seemingly impossible trials to win where kindness and loyalty and personal principles are on an trial too.
Whilst I enjoyed the plot on the whole and it felt brilliant to be reunited with those characters, this book didn’t grip me in the way the previous books have. I think it’s because the book is almost over before the trials begin and these have always been my favourite aspects of the book. This book felt more like the plot of an action/thriller movie than a legal thriller. What I love about Eddie and his team felt diluted in this book.
Having said that, I will always be a die hard Eddie Flynn fan and will definitely be back for the next book. I am also an outlier and the majority of people are loving this book and I am glad to see it.

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for an advanced copy of the book in exchange for an honest review

Elly has an enviable life as a TikTok influencer with thousands of followers hanging on to her every word and are present when her life is turned upsidedown. Live streaming from her apartment that she shares with her recently wed husband she is shattered to find him in their bed with her best friend, and everyone is watching! Could her life get any worse you ask and yes it can. Her husband and friend are found murdered and of course Elly is the prime suspect, but the police don't believe her story about being attacked by a man she stopped wondered help getting back to his apartment. Are the two incidents bizarrely linked? It isn't until Eddie Flynn becomes her defence lawyer that she realises someone is on her side and will do everything to prove her innocent.
An absolutely brilliant page turner thriller that put me on edge wondering how Elly was going to prove her innocence with everything stacked against her. Steve Cavanagh is one of the best thriller writers around today.

Another amazing novel from Steve Cavanagh who goes against the usual ‘police’ detective with his star character Eddie Flynn who is a lawyer meaning you get a totally different perspective on the cases.

A massive fan of Steve Cavanagh, I couldn't wait to pick this up. I read it in two days, as I couldn't put it down. Elly is a TikTocker who details all her random acts of kindness on social media and shares all aspects of her life. When one act of kindness puts her on the stand for murder, Eddie Flynn takes her case and pulls out all the stops to prove her innocence. I loved the different POVs and how the story came together at the end. But that ending!!! Wow! Was not expecting that! absolutely 5 stars from me

Wow! This sure is a page turner!
Eddie Flynn and his associates make for an entertaining read and this latest book in this series from Steve Cavanagh will not disappoint.
Ellie Parker is a highly successful tiktok influencer, she lives is New York, she is young, beautiful, newly married and in love. She likes to carry out a random act of kindness each day. Her world falls apart, shatters to smithereens, when she discovers her husband and best friend in bed together, she inadvertently posts the video of them on line for the world to see and then she helps the wrong stranger!!
When her husband and her best friend are later found murdered in her flat, Ellie is arrested and charged with the double murder, not only is she the chief suspect, she is the only suspect.
Enter Eddie Flynn and his associates. Eddie’s gut tells him Ellie is innocent but can he prove it in a courtroom?
This rollercoaster read has brilliant characters, some familiar, there is courtroom drama and tension and outside of the courtroom there is a clever, sleek murderer.
This is a brilliant read which I highly recommend and what an ending!!! Please please let there be book 10.
Many thanks to Net Galley and Headine for an ARC of this book in exchange for a review.

Two Kinds of Stranger By Steve Cavanagh is book 9 in the Eddie Flynn series and this storyline is another legal thriller that seems impossible to win.
Eddie is in court defending Ellie Parker who is accused of three counts of to of murder, whilst at the same time Kate is also in court defending Eddie’s ex wife and husband who are also accused of murder.
A fascinating story of a murderer who is invisible and family ties that need help.
Highly recommended

Fan-bloomin'-tastic.
It's a wonderful day when you get approved for an ARC of the Eddie Flynn series, and a fabulous day when you get a signed dedicated copy on your door.
This was amazing. Multiple POVs to keep the drama going, and a few storylines to follow along. Such a good read, and the best thriller I've read in ages. Masterful plotting.
I'm still thinking about that ending...
Now begins the long wait for the next book!

I have enjoyed every one of the Eddie Flynn books and this is another that does not disappoint,

It is pacy, brilliant and once again a tale that is filled with drama.

It has all the twists whic I have come to expect with these reads and I cannot wait for the next..

Wow Steve Cavanagh does it again. A totally gripping read from start to finish. Eddie Flynn is one of my favourite literary characters. This book is full of twists and turns that it will make you feel giddy. One of my favourite books of the year. Thanks to Headline and Netgalley for this review copy.

The kind of Eddie Flynn book we know and love!

The last book wasn’t my favourite, so this truly felt like a return to the books that made me originally become obsessed with this series! A great read, very gripping and twisty!

📱⚖️📱⚖️

Premise:

Elly, a TikTok creator, known for her online random acts of kindness, has just had her personal life ruined in front of millions.

And to make matters worse, she is targeted by a serial killer who wants to take advantage of her kind nature. And when she is framed for murder there is only one lawyer who can help, Eddie Flynn.

Whilst Eddie does everything he can to save Elly, a serial killer is still at large and doing everything he can to sabotage the case including going after those Eddie loves.

📱⚖️📱⚖️

The first few chapters will have you gripped. I truly love the set up created for this case, especially with the very real world element of an online creator being the defendant. Which meant Harry had to learn about ‘TikkyTok’ (his terminology) and inevitably became obsessed with it!

And I loved the return of Eddie’s family in this book, although I was stressed for them throughout the read. All in all, I felt so much more emotionally invested in the characters this time around. Not only worrying about Amy and her mum. But also, really feeling for Elly, and wanting the case to go her way.

Even the villain, the serial killer, was an entertaining character in this book. I enjoyed following his antics and seeing how his brain was always thinking multiple steps ahead. A true match for Eddie!

And the ending was a fun one! There is a surprise that I really did not see coming. I’m intrigued what will come next. Especially given the call that Eddie received. And near the start, there was a callback to the last book with Ruby having escaped prison. Plus I’m still waiting for the return of Mr Christmas 😂 Let’s see what Cavanagh does next!
