Another Eddie Flynn book, another fantastic five star read.
Two brilliant main plots, one very close to home. Exquisitely amoral characters, brilliant main plots and not one, but two, compelling courtroom scenes. All that and the most jaw dropping twist at the end.
Another fabulous addition to this excellent series

Having not read all of the previous Eddie Flynn series, I was slightly concerned I'd miss some of the plot points of the book. While I do think it would have been better if I'd read all the other ones first, I did really enjoy this and would definitely recommend :)

This is my first read by Steve cavanaugh, it's a part of series following lawyer Eddie Flynn, but can be read as a standalone. Fast paced with lots of twists and turns , clever courtroom action and the ending twist blew me away.
I would recommend it to all the thriller fans who enjoy the legal drama. I will be reading the other books in the series in the near future

Ellie is a social influencer who records her acts of kindness, when coming home early to cook a meal for her six month anniversary she finds him in bed with her best friend and has recorded this to her followers.
But they are both found dead Ellie was arrested and Eddie is on the case and his family is threatened so the case is difficult.
A great courtroom drama with a twist.
Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC and I give my honest review

I love the Eddie Flynn books, and this one was excellent, as usual! It keeps you on tenterhooks from the beginning, from a night in a notorious prison to the unravelling of various crimes.

Cavanagh has a talent for taking seemingly impossible situations to levels you would never imagine - every revelation is a surprise. As the reader, the writing draws you in until you feel a part of the story. Highly recommended!

Many thanks to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for this ARC.

This is another great instalment of the Eddie Flynn series.

This is the story of Ellie, who's life has been full of ups and downs, highs and lows with some danger thrown in to make it terrifying for her.

Being a big hearted person Ellie helps a stranger with dangerous consequences.

She enlists Flynn to try help her out, but it isn't that simple for him.

The storyline is great, the chapters are fast paced and it'll have you second guessing your thoughts throughout.
This is definitely a must read!

Wow ... just wow!!! One of the best books I've read this year and one I can't recommend highly enough and even though this is number 9 in the series, don't let that put you off because you can absolutely read and enjoy this delight as a standalone but I would recommend you go back and read the rest, you won't be disappointed.

I am a fan of Mr Cavanagh's incarnation of Eddie Flynn having read a few of his previous outings but, I have to say, this is the best one I have read so far - an absolute peach of a story that had me on tenterhooks and devouring the pages as quick as my little eyes could manage.

With excellent characters, fantastic story and side story, perfect pace, the right amount of twists and thrills, I have no hesitation in recommending this to anyone who loves a great thriller.

What are you waiting for? Go get it!

Thanks to the author, Headline and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of this, a fantastic addition to this brilliant series.

This is yet another incredible instalment in the Eddie Flynn series - dare I say the best yet?? Fifty Fifty still holds a special place in my heart, but I felt like the twists and turns in this book were Cavanagh’s best work to date. As with other books in the series, this can be read as a standalone but has a little more impact when read with the rest of the series.

The opening chapter did a great job of luring me into a false sense of security - I actually forgot I was reading a thriller until bad things started happening! It was a really refreshing way to start a Flynn book, and I appreciated the switch-up.

This was definitely one of the trickiest cases Eddie had to unpick; at every corner, it felt like the team was just one step behind our incredibly smart antagonist. The whole book really kept me on my toes from the first to the very last page, and I was gripped throughout. The team genuinely felt like they were in constant danger!

I think my favourite part of the book was the double trial - I could feel the stress and exhaustion from every member of Eddie’s team, and it was fun to follow their different investigations and perspectives.

Overall, this was a fantastic book that I would recommend to anyone who enjoys gripping thrillers, multiple POVs and loads of twists. 4.5 stars!

Oh wow. I just tore through this book. Murder, revenge and a little kindness woven through. A perfect thriller

Another cracking installment in the Eddie Flynn series, even better than Witness 8 which was my favourite so far.
This time there are 2 storyline which twist together but it keeps you guessing and gasping (literally) all the way though. Elly is a character who really grew on me. Im not usually a fan of influencers on 'tikky tok' but I warmed to her and her situation felt really desperate.
Eddie continually pushes the boundaries and never fails to impress!
This was a one sitting rainy saturday read for me, I was so engrossed I forgot to eat!!

I was almost fooled by a gentle beginning into thinking that Steve Cavanagh had gone a bit soft, but by the end of the first chapter my heart was racing.

Steve is the master creator of evil, deranged criminals and, thankfully, also of ingenious, devious, lateral-thinking lawyers and investigators – Eddie Flynn and his team. They’re all back and on top of their game in this latest thrilling, perplexing, nerve-wracking episode.

The twists and misdirections come fast and furious throughout. And having had well-loved characters killed off in previous Eddie Flynn adventures, you’re never allowed the luxury of thinking “they’re the goodies, they’ll be safe”.

It’s the courtroom scenes that I love the most in these novels, so to have two cases running simultaneously was a real treat. Double the worry, double the delight.

I was tricked into thinking everything was resolved, when – BAM! – that final twist at the very end. Genius!

As an aside, I smiled a broad smile when Bloch is introduced as ‘My investigator, Bloch, pronounced Block’ – answering a question I once asked Steve myself :-D

I was accepted to read this book before official publication through NetGalley and below is my honest review.

He’s done it again!! Steve Cavanagh truly never fails.

This is the latest instalment in the Eddie Flynn series and yet again, I was on edge throughout!

Anyone who has read any of these books knows that Steve is the king of multi POVs and even though there is lots, it’s never confusing. It’s written so well.

The gasp that I gusped at the end! I was absolutely not expecting that ending. I LOVED it.

Two Kinds of Stranger is a fast paced, nail biting thriller. I think the fact that it is told through different POVs is great because it really breaks up the story and gives you chance to really dive into each characters narrative.

I recommend to anyone who reads thriller. Anyone in general to be honest 😂

Overall, I give this book 5 stars!!

I just loved this book! I was hooked on this book from the start I started this book yesterday and finished it the next day as I had to sleep. Otherwise I just couldn’t put this book down as I just had to find out what happened next as there was always something happening. I just loved all the characters and I just couldn’t believe the end it was perfect.

I would highly recommend reading this book as it’s just amazing and it will keep you guessing to the end. I look forward to the next book in this series.

I would like to thank Headline and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book early.

Another edge of your seat read in the ninth outing for Eddie Flynn which is nothing short of outstanding.As always,I was hooked from the first page by this fast paced,twisty legal thriller that never lets up.
I love every character in this series even the bad guys are written with such personality that you cant help but be drawn in,Steve Cavanagh has a gift for creating villians you love to hate and courtroom showdowns that leave you breathless.
I really love that everyone thinks they can beat Eddie but never quite manage to pull it off,his always one step ahead.
This book features 2 intertwining storylines,one that's deeply personal to Eddie.
I had an idea where we were heading near the end and I wasn't disappointed it was nailed perfectly,such is the writing that even when you start to see the pieces come together it still shock and delights the reader.
As a huge fan of this series, I can honestly say it's another triumph. Well done, Mr Cavanagh. Once again, you've outdone yourself.Roll on Book 10... I can't wait
Highly Recommended.
Thanks to Netgalley and Headline Books for the Arc.

Extremely gripping from the very beginning! And what a PHENOMENAL twist at the end! Amazing! 5 stars

What a cracker of a read! The author never fails to deliver a well thought out story with solid characters and a detailed background on them.
A non stop,action read from page 1 to the very end and the ending left me open-mouthed so totally unexpected. Just WOW loved it!

Another great Eddie Flynn novel. For anyone who hasn't yet tried this series, I cannot recommend it enough. Five stars doesn't feel like sufficient. The writing is always pacey, the killers disturbing, the plot unexpected. This one has a brilliant last minute twist that I didn't see coming too, very satisfying indeed! Steve Cavanagh is a fast favourite - please keep them coming.

From the very first page of Two Kinds of Stranger, it’s clear that Steve Cavanagh has once again delivered a legal thriller of the highest calibre. Returning favourite Eddie Flynn and his team are thrust into the heart of a case where Ellie Parker, a young social media influencer is accused of murdering her husband and his lover.

At the core of this novel is lawyer Eddie Flynn, whose unconventional style and razor-sharp wit keep the proceedings as tense as they are entertaining. The courtroom is Cavanagh’s arena, and through Eddie’s manoeuvres, readers are treated to a spectacle of tactical brilliance, emotional depth, and dry humour.

A thriller is only as strong as its antagonist, and in this one, Logan is a villain for the ages. Logan’s character is utterly devoid of scruples or morals, and his presence hovers over every twist and turn of the plot. The danger feels immediate and unrelenting, elevating the stakes and ensuring that the suspense never lets up.

In summary, Two Kinds of Stranger is a superbly written, character-driven novel that delivers both heart and thrills in equal measure. With its ingenious courtroom drama, unforgettable villain, and the inimitable Eddie Flynn at its centre, this novel is an absolute must-read for fans of the genre. Five stars, without hesitation.

WOW I really enjoyed Two Kinds of Stranger (Eddie Flynn book 9) by Steve Cavanagh is an abosolutely gripping thriller with lots of action, court dramas, murder, infidelity, intrigue, danger and suspense.

Eddie Flynn and his loyal staff take their lives in their hands when they defend Ellie Parker a TikToker who loves to show acts of kindness to random people to entertain her followers on the internet.

Unfortunately one of her acts of kindness will end up with her being accused of murder and this will end up putting not only Ellie's life in danger but Eddie's family and his loyal staff too.

Unbeknown to Eddie and Ellie there is someone watching their every move and is always one step ahead of the game.

The famous saying by Mothers who care about their loved ones 'Never trust a stranger.' will come into play more than once in this mind blowing thriller.

Steve Cavanagh has entertained us yet again with another edge of the seat Eddie Flynn thriller long may he continue.

This fast-paced murder mystery sees defence lawyer Eddie Flynn fighting to defend his client Elly, who is charged with committing a triple murder. At the same time, he is attempting to protect his ex-wife and family against a stalker with an axe to grind.

The plot opens when Elly, a young up and coming influencer accidentally live streams her husband’s affair with her best friend. (think Coldplay's recent concert) As the upload goes viral, the two lose their jobs, friends and social media followers. Despite being lured and drugged herself by a young man in plaster, the prosecution still believe she is guilty. There is only one eyewitness that can corroborate her story. Flynn and his team must find him before the real murderer does.

Alongside this plot is a sub story. Flynn’s ex-wife’s husband managed to overturn a will denying the swindler Arthur Cross out of a twenty million dollars inheritance. Cross intends to make him pay by destroying his family.

While this is a series of nine, I had no trouble reading it in isolation. Cavanagh's story telling simply keeps you turning the pages. Eddie’s unique ability to get results makes him a lovable rogue who you would want on your team if you were ever in a spot of bother. The final twist was the icing on the cake. I loved every minute of it.

Thank you NetGalley and Headline publishing for the opportunity to review this ahead of publication.
