Many thanks to NetGalley and Atria for a copy of this book!

This is the second book by Steve Cavanagh that I have read (Kill For Me, Kill For You being the first) and I really enjoyed this one. I had no idea this was part of a series with the same MC until almost until the end. So yes, you can read this book without having read any of the other books.

This book was one that kept me turning pages until the very end. I really enjoyed every single character in it.

Thank you so much to Steve Cavanagh, Atria Books, and NetGalley for this ARC of Witness 8.

I was nervous to start reading this book because I was afraid I would be extremely confused since this is the 8th book in this installment but I’m happy to report that this book can be read as a standalone!!

This was actually my first Steve Cavanagh novel so I wasn’t sure what to expect from him or from Eddie Flynn. In discussing this book with Cavanagh fans this book is not as amazing as his previous books but I thoroughly enjoyed it! I can’t wait to read more from this author.

Holy whoa… I did not see the end of this book coming! I loved how everything tied together by the end. I would definitely recommend this book & now need to go back to the beginning of Eddie Flynn’s story to see how this ragtag team came together!

After reading Kill for me, Kill for you and loving it I was excited to review this book. Ruby witnesses a murder and uses it to her advantage. However, things don’t go the way she plans them to. I loved the multiple point of views throughout the story. The ending was a twist I never saw coming. Thanks NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This was my first book in the Eddie Flynn series and it did not disappoint! I didn’t feel like I was missing anything by not reading the previous books but now it would be fun to go back and see how the Eddie Flynn story started!

When Ruby, a nanny and maid, witnesses a murder in her neighborhood, she uses this information to her advantage! This book has a lot of characters/moving pieces so you definitely need to pay attention but when things finally click into place, it’s very satisfying!

Witness 8 by Steve Cavanagh

Thank you NetGalley and Atria books for this Arc for my honest review

This book was an instant request after loving the last book from Steve, although I had no idea it would be part of a series. I think it is a great standalone though. I enjoy the premise of the book, however I thought it was a little slow and bland with the court and jury conversation. I felt like it slowed up the story. I enjoyed the suspense and intensity of the book!

Overall I enjoyed it and thought it was an enjoyable story.

This is one author that I fell in love with!! His writing is so perfect and this one specifically was probably one of my favorites.

I debated for a while whether I was going to continue the series but I am glad I did! Eddie Flynn is a true ride or die.

Thank you Net Gallery for the awesome ARC!

Witness 8 by Steve Cavanagh was a fantastic read! This book kept me engaged and wanting to know what comes next!
Thanks so much NetGalley, the publisher, and Steve Cavanagh for my eARC.

I absolutely loved Kill for me, Kill for you but I just did not resonate with this book. There were too many points of view throughout and the characters seemed like one dimensional cartoons from a gangster movie. Maybe if I had read the previous Eddie Flynn novels I would’ve connected more. This is a pass for me. Thanks NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Wowwww what an awesome read!!! I could not put this book down it was so good. Definitely a favorite read for me

This was a fantastic book. I really enjoyed every second I spent reading it. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this ARC!

Okay, there was SO much going on in this book. Multiple storylines that all intertwined, eventually, but it took until the very end for me to understand how. This is the 8th book in the Eddie Flynn series, which is said to be a series that can be read out of order/each book as a standalone. I personally disagree. There was SO much about Eddie Flynn in this one - though he was the defense attorney, he also had a totally separate storyline for the entire book that I think I would’ve enjoyed more if I understood the backstory. Because of this, I really only enjoyed part of the book/one of the storylines- the present murder and portions about Ruby (which seemed to be of lesser focus). I enjoyed parts of it, but I HIGHLY recommend reading this as a series/starting with the first book. Absolutely convinced it would’ve changed my entire opinion on Witness 8.

I absolutely loved Kill for Me, Kill for you by Steve Cavanagh and knew I wanted to read his new book.
I am so glad I did!

I hadn't read any of the previous books in this series, but that had no impact on my utter enjoyment of the story.

Eddie Flynn is a fantastic character who is an attorney who used to be a conman.
The mystery was excellent with twists and turns I think NO one saw coming.

I am going to go back and read the rest of the books in the Eddie Flynn series!

An ex-con turned defense attorney. An extremely polite hitman called Mr. Christmas. A devious nanny that hears a voice coming from a portrait. Dead bodies, kick butt women and quite a few likeable (and unlikeable) characters. Very well written with a nice flow. This was my first read by Steve Cavanagh and I am now a fan. Can't wait to read more.

Thanks to Net Galley and Atria Books for this ARC ebook. Although at first I was a bit overwhelmed with all of the characters, I quickly settled in and it soon all came together. I really like the unconventional ways of Eddie Flynn who used to be a conman and is now a lawyer. The twist about Ruby and the truth about her father had my jaw dropping. I highly recommend this book.
This is the third book of Steve Cavanaghs that I've read and I'm a fan.

I love Steve Cavanagh’s books, especially the Eddie Flynn series. Eddie is such an interesting character and it’s always great to see how he is going to manage to get himself or his clients out of their messes. This book especially had me sucked in from the very beginning with Ruby’s storyline. I loved how well this book was written and it’s definitely left an opening for the next in the series!

Thank you to the author, Atria Books, and NetGalley for the advanced reader copy. This is my honest review. 5⭐️, publication date March 11, 2025

Ok for starters I LOVE Eddie! I love his character and how he genuinely cares for his clients. Now let’s get to the book! I loved this book. It was full of intense twist and turns that I didn’t see coming at all. I had no clue who killed Maggs! And the ending ? Ummm what was that! SHOCKING!!! I love Steve Cavanagh and will always read his books!

“Witness 8” by Steve Cavanagh is a gripping legal thriller that centers on defense attorney Eddie Flynn, a former conman turned lawyer. The story follows Flynn as he takes on the case of a well-respected doctor accused of murder. Despite the seemingly black-and-white nature of the case, Flynn uses morally gray tactics to defend his client, blurring the lines between right and wrong.

The novel’s plot is entirely unbelievable but equally enjoyable, making it a thrilling and fast-paced journey. The characters are complex, morally ambiguous, and leave readers feeling torn—often finding themselves rooting for the bad guy. This book offers a compelling exploration of the justice system and what it means to seek justice in a world where the truth isn’t always clear.

If you enjoy courtroom drama with a twist, morally complex characters, and a plot that keeps you guessing until the end, “Witness 8” is a must-read.

I gave this book 5 stars. It is hands down one of the best books I have read in 2024. You will not be able to put this one down. I was not able to guess the plot twists and I appreciate that. This is the first book I have read by this author and I will be looking for more in the future!

super thrilling and downright addicting!! i loved this from start to finish. it was such a quick read because the content itself was so addicting you couldn't put the book down. i will definitely read more from this author.
