Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this ARC!

Book Title: Fifty Fifty
Author: Steve Cavanagh
Genre: legal thriller, suspense
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

When two sisters accuse each other of their father’s brutal murder, defense attorney Eddie Flynn (and former con-man) must navigate deception, lies, and hidden motives to uncover the truth.

This is my second Steve Cavanagh novel. As expected he delivered another gripping legal thriller. Fifty Fifty is a fast-paced, twist-filled courtroom drama that keeps you guessing until the end. I thoroughly enjoyed trying to guess who the actual killer was. Steve Cavanagh is a phenomenal author and clearly pays attention to the smallest of details. I highly recommend this novel for those who love clever twists and high-stakes legal battles!

Eddie land a high profile case of a prior city Mayor. The problem is both his daughters are the accused and are blaming each other.

This was a slow starter for me compared to the other books I've read from Steve Cavenaugh, but once it started rolling it didn't stop. I can't wait to read everything else he writes!

Steve Cavanaugh is one of my absolute favorites. I will read anything he writes.This one was another phenomenal book.

I have been reading the Eddie Flynn series, not in order, and this is probably my favorite so far. Fifty fifty had me going back and forth on who was guilty and following all of the clues throughout the entire book. This was such a fun read, and I really enjoyed the unexpected twist at the end. I would recommend this series to thriller lovers, you do not have to read them in order as each book is a good stand alone, however it it nice to see the progression of some of his personal life.

Steve Cavanagh always has the best books. This one is no exception. I was in shock with my mouth open the whole way through. Thank you so much for letting me read this.

I love Eddie Flynn and this was a really good installment of this series! It was gripping and exciting. Excellent!

Love love love this author, and especially his character Eddie and his band of friends. Interesting premise and I was hooked from the first line. It got a bit dark and sad along the way but it all wrapped up nicely and I found it to be a super great read!

Thank you to Atria Books & NetGalley for this ARC!
This is the first book l've read by Steve Cavanagh and it won't be my last. I throughly enjoyed everything about this book and it kept me guessing until the last few chapters. I didn't think I would be a fan of the multiple POVs but it worked out and I ended up liking them! The book felt like I was reading an episode of Law & Order which I liked.

WOW Steve Cavanagh does it again! I've read a lot of crime/thrillers and this one had a storyline that I hadn't seen before - two sisters call 911 accusing each other of the same crime. What a whirlwind!

Cavanagh wrote such strong, well-developed characters, but I think the alternating POV styles was what impressed me the most. We rotate back and forth mostly between Eddie (first person) and Kate (third person) as they work on the case, but my favorite perspective was "She," which was clearly one of the criminal sisters but we didn't know exactly which one. Cavanagh masterfully added details that would make you think "She" was one sister over the other but then threw in just enough commonalities that made you second guess your ideas every time we had a new chapter from her.

Some parts were a little graphic and difficult to read, but it truly added to the evil of the storyline rather than used for shock value. I will say this one truly had me guessing until the very end - and then I had to double check I read things correctly, it was that wild! Thanks so much for the ARC - this is easily one of my favorite 2025 reads!

Fifty Fifty was a thriller I couldn’t put down; from the very first minute, I was immersed in its dark essence.
It’s a book that plays with your mind like no other, right up until the end!

The plot is solid, the pacing is very fast, and the author has a way of writing that makes you question everyone, even your own sanity.

I devoured this story and I want to recommend it because you truly won’t regret it!!!

Thank you for the ARC. This is my third Cavanaugh book and it’s another banger. Felt like I was reading an episode of law and order. Cavanaugh has a way of keeping your interest and throwing in lots of twists and turns and thrill. This book kept me going back and forth who really killed their father, Sofia or Alexandra. What a great read.

I didn’t realize this book was in the middle of a series. Knowing that now, I am going to add this to my list. Two sisters at the crime scene of their father’s gruesome murder, who done it? I went back and forth several times knowing I was being led a certain way and I still wasn’t right. And isn’t that what we all look for in a mystery? This was a story I could really sink my teeth into. I think the team of Eddie, Harry, Kate and Bloch have many adventures to come and I am looking forward to it. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This was such a great book! I love every book by this author and this one did not disappoint! Both sisters call 911 and tell them that the other sister killed their father. This book had me guessing until the very end because every time I thought I knew who did it something else came up to keep you second guessing! Will definitely recommend

4,25 stars!

This is my third read in Steve Cavanagh's Eddie Flynn, and every time I really enjoy myself! I think in general, a legal thriller can be hit or miss for me, but I think where Steve Cavanagh shines is his writing style and compelling characters. I did think the actual mystery/thriller plot was a bit predictable, but I enjoyed the tension building especially as Eddie started to realize what was going on. I will definitely read more installments in the Eddie Flynn universe, and even though this is fifth in the series I didn't feel like I was confused!

If Steve Cavanagh writes it, I’m gonna read it! This was such a great legal thriller! I didn’t know this was part of a series, but I didn’t have any trouble following without having read the other books in the series.

Thank you to NetGalley, author Steve Cavanagh and Atria publishing for the ARC and opportunity to review this book. Loved it from start to finish. This book had me feeling confident I knew who the killer was to totally unsure a few pages later. There were so many twists and shocking sections to the book. I love the Eddie Flynn series and this one was no exception.

I really enjoyed this cat-and-mouse thriller! I love the character Eddie Flynn and very much enjoyed this suspenseful legal thriller. Steve Cavanagh has quickly become one of my newer favorite authors and this did not disappoint! I will say as a word of caution, this book was quite a bit more violent than some of his other books, just in case that might be an issue for some readers.
