Can't tell you what a great read this was. I was introduced to Eddie Flynn on Audible, and I've been obsessed ever
since.. Eddie is the modern day Robin hood when I comes to the law.

The main idea of the book is that No good deed goes unpunished, as Ellie finds out to her cost. Great characters, twist and turns when you least expect them. Thoroughly great read would recommend this book to any crime readers.

Thanks to Netgalley and Headline for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Eddie Flynn and the whole gang are back and this time they are defending a social media influencer who is accused of murdering her husband and best friend, who had been having an affair. There is also trouble with Eddie's ex-wife and her new husband who are being harassed by an associate of a former client.

4.5 stars.

This was a page turner as all Eddie Flynn novels are. I love the whole cast of characters and always look forward to what shenanigans Eddie will pull to get his client off. My only issue with this one was that I didn't really understand Logan's motivation. Regardless, a new Eddie Flynn novel is always a treat and now I am back to waiting for his next case.

Completely gripping. Tense. Unputdownable. Steve Cavanagh needs to write a 'how to' book on crime writing. Fab

The minute this latest Eddie Flynn landed through my post box, I dived in. within a few hours, I had devoured the entire thing! Another absolutely superb novel from Cavanagh with all the usual con man twists we expect in a Flynn courtroom. with several big cases and storylines flowing alongside each other, this one was a tense and nail-biitng experience. Cavanagh promised big changes with the characters, and I was anxious to see who would be affected. Oh my, there were some twists I didn't see coming. The change wasn't one I could have predicted. Now, I feel a little bereft. I want the next installment. You could definitely read this as a standalone, but you'd be depriving yourself of a stellar series. 100% my thriller of the year. It would take some book or writer to beat this. #twokindsofstranger #stevecavanagh #netgalley

The best Eddie Flynn book so far!

Elly Parker is a TiKTok star and known for her random acts of kindness, after discovering her husband cheating on her with her best friend she is accused of their murder.

Eddie Flynn and his team take on the case and try to prove her innocence. At the same time Eddie’s own family is also at risk.

This is a great legal thriller which kept up the high tension throughout. It is part of the fantastic Eddie Flynn series but could also be enjoyed as a standalone.

This absolutely hit the legal thriller spot, as you would expect from the latest instalment in the Eddie Flynn series.

I wish I could get into Steve’s head to find out how he manages to think up these complex storylines with edge of your seat twists. He manages to tie up every loose end so brilliantly.

This book is faced paced and every chapter plunges you head first into the next.
It’s hard to put down.

Perfect for any series loving legal thriller reader.

Side note: Although part of a series this book can easily be read as a standalone too.

I have read almost every book in the Eddie Flynn series (I may have missed a couple, but they can be easily read as stand-alone) and I do love them, the cases of the ex-con turned lawyer who, together with his crew of “misfits”, defends only those who are innocent and who is not afraid to cross the lines.

Eddie’s latest case involves the social media influencer Ellie Parker, known for her acts of kindness to strangers. Except that her latest act of kindness gets her arrested for the murders of her husband and her best friend, who, only two weeks earlier, she had caught together in bed in live stream for millions of people to see. Someone, a stranger, has targeted Ellie, pulling the strings to make sure she is found guilty of the murders.

As with any Eddie Flynn’s novels, Two Kinds of Stranger is action-packed, full of twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. Eddie uses every trick in the book to prove Ellie’s innocence, but things get more complicated and more personal when his own family gets involved in the killer’s game. His colleague Kate Brooks faces moral dilemmas when it comes to crossing the lines, while Bloch and Gabriel Lake are the targets of someone very dangerous, and former judge Harry Ford, his loyal dog Clarence, and Denise are the steady members of the group keeping everything and everyone together.

The story is told from many perspectives, from Eddie to Kate to Bloch and Lake. But we also get the point of view of the victim, Ellie Parker, and the killer, which was my favourite because I found him a complex and interesting character. Who is this person in the shadow and why does he want to ruin Ellie’s life? Two Kinds of Stranger is another clever and addictive novel in the Eddie Flynn’s series and I can’t wait for more!

Another BRILLIANT Eddie Flynn story from Steve Cavanagh. The whole team returns to deal with a complicated case that intertwines and invades Eddie's personal life. Fast paced, loveable characters and the right amount of mystery. What more could you possibly want?

I'm so glad we're back with Eddie Flynn!

Steve Cavanagh is the king of twists and i really enjoyed this one with the multiple cases. I find i read Cavanaghs books quite quickly as they are multi POV and even though you say 'I'll finish this chapter and go to bed' you see who the next chapter is focused on and think 'okay, one more chapter.'

Looking forward to seeing where Eddie's story goes next!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Another brilliant Eddie Flynn read!

Two Kinds of Stranger was everything I hoped it would be — fast-paced, easy to follow, and packed with twists that kept me guessing the whole way through. The plot flows so well, and just when you think you’ve figured it out, something shifts to keep you hooked.

As always, the characters were spot on, and Eddie Flynn proves yet again why he’s such a standout lead. The story had me fully gripped, and I couldn’t wait to see how it all played out. That ending!!! Amazingly done.

Another top-tier addition to the series — I’ll definitely be buying a copy as soon as it’s released. Big thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

This is my first Eddie Flynn book and actually my first Steve Cavanagh book altogether. I heard Steve talking about this book on a podcast and thought it sounded intriguing, but since it’s book nine in the series, I figured I’d missed the boat. Then I spotted it on NetGalley and decided to give it a go. I’m so glad I did.
From the very first chapters, I was hooked. I genuinely almost missed my train stop because I was so caught up in the story. I had to dash off the train as the doors were closing, hoping I’d grabbed all my stuff (thankfully, I had!)
The book is centred around Elly Parker, who seems to have the perfect life. She is an internet celebrity known for her random acts of kindness, and she recently married the man of her dreams. But, after a devastating betrayal, Elly’s world falls apart in full view of her millions of followers. Even at her lowest point though, Elly still cares enough to help a stranger, but this leads to her being caught up in a terrifying game with a psychopathic predator.
As Elly’s life spirals out of control, she turns to Eddie Flynn, the former con artist turned defence attorney. Eddie, known for only defending clients he believes are innocent, takes on her case. But the more Eddie and the team investigate, the more twisted the truth becomes. At the same time, Eddie’s own family is facing challenges, and he’s forced to juggle both situations - are they somehow connected?
I loved this book. Eddie’s background as a con artist as a former con-artist allows Cavanagh the perfect excuse to include twists and turns and red herrings galore to keep the reader guessing and on the edge of their seat. As well as nearly missing my train stop, I also had several late nights as once I started reading, I could not stop. ‘Just one more chapter’ was my mantra for this book. If the previous nine books are this good, then I’ve missed out and need to remedy this.
Fans of the series will be pleased to see familiar faces Kate, Bloch, Lake, and Harry, who bring a great mix of skills and loyalty to the team. Their dynamic adds real depth to the story. I genuinely wanted to know more about each of them as the book alludes to previous experiences which has helped form them into these strong and committed people. I am particularly intrigued by Kate whose moral compass is so at odds with Eddie’s. I clearly need to read the previous books to discover their backstories and how and why they have come together to form such a diverse, but close-knit team.
Although the whole book is full of intrigue and excitement, the final chapters as the two court hearings are taking place simultaneously, are stunning but be warned, they are also seriously stressful!
This book is a fantastic blend of courtroom drama and psychological thriller. My TBR pile will be growing very soon. Can I read the previous eight books before book 10 comes out!

Tense and perfectly paced with a balance of courtroom action and high octan investigation.
Very twisty and that ending left me gobsmacked. Of course being in the company of Eddie Flynn and team is always a pleasure and this one was no different.
Enjoyed seeing a slightly different side to Eddie and as ever the 'con man' tricks he always has up his sleeve are ingenious and anticipatory.
Loved it!

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I’ve read and loved all the Eddie Flynn books and this is another great one in the series with a particularly satisfying ending

I’ve never read an Eddie Flynn book that I didn’t love and Two Kinds of Stranger is no exception. Social media influencer Ellie Parker finds herself in big trouble after her perfect life spectacularly implodes and she turns to conman-turned-lawyer Eddie Flynn for help. Cue danger, excitement and heart-pounding action as Eddie and his eclectic team set about clearing Ellie’s name—and saving her life. This is a one-sitting read so clear your schedule and buckle up for the ride. An easy five stars, and that final twist is *chef’s kiss*

I have read all of Steve Cavanagh's books and I love the Eddie Flynn series so have been really looking forward to this book, # 9 in the series.
Hands down once again Cavanagh has produced a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ belter of a novel.
Two cases, one close to home, are the main body of this novel. Eddie Flynn is a good lawyer, once a con man he uses his wit and past skills to walk a tightrope between legal and illegal to help his innocent clients. A satisfying twist at the end is great.
Can’t recommend Steve Cavanagh’s books enough. I would strongly suggest you give this whole series a go in order.

Thanks to Headline and NetGalley for ARC.
Cavanagh is back with another high-concept, high-stakes thriller tapping into the zeitgeist and featuring con-man/lawyer Eddie Flynn and his team of other lawyers, investigators and family members.
Ellie Parker, influencer and purveyor of kindness, witnesses something personal and disturbing, accidentally live-streaming it. The footage immediately goes viral, and she's humiliated and ashamed of the effects on her and the others involved. When shortly after she is accused of an awful crime, the world is ready to believe in her guilt before she even goes on trial. The police and New York DA office don't believe her story but something about her makes Eddie and team feel sure it's a set up.
It's a race against time and puts several other people in danger. Of course it is, of course it does; it's an Eddie Flynn novel. It's tightly plotted, terrifically engaging and I didn't find my attention flagging no matter how much I was asked to suspend my disbelief.
Definitely read it as a stand alone if you want, but it might make you hungry for more - and this is number 9 of the series.

Another fine Eddie Flynn episode! This gripped me from the first chapter. Elly Parker is a social media influencer in need of Eddie's help. The stranger responsible for so much pain and upheaval is doing all they can to hurt Flynn, his colleagues and his family. A delicate web of interwoven threads with two cases at once has the reader fearing for Eddie and those he cares about. With so many twists and turns to keep you wondering how it will all come together. This is a cracker, it most certainly does not disappoint with a spectacular finale. Thank you to Netgalley and the author for my ARC.

I always enjoy Steve Cavanagh's books as they never disappoint. Yes this story is far-fetched, but the characters are good, the storyline compelling, and the ending is satisfying. A great holiday read.

Clear your calendar, you will not want to put this down! When you think "just one more chapter, they are quite short" you know the story is good.
Steve Cavanagh does it again.

Thank you for the ARC NetGalley.

The 9th book in the Eddie Flynn series, although can be read as a standalone, and it didn’t disappoint! This book follows Elly, an influencer whose life falls apart in spectacular fashion. While filming, she finds her husband and best friend in bed together which breaks her heart. She then offers to help a stranger which destroys her even further. Accused of murder with no sign of the stranger, Elly employs Eddie to help her! An excellent story which keeps you gripped to the very end. Dual POV, fast paced with short chapters I would recommend!
