Who do you believe?
I am a huge fan of this author so my expectations were high and I was excited to read it. The beginning was very promising and I loved the concept of the book. This time Eddie Flynn is in a case where two sisters accuse each other of brutally murdering the father. Is he defending the guilty or innocent sister?

I like how he kept the reader guessing who the killer was by introducing the chapters of She and keeping it a mystery as to which sister "she" was. Either Alexandra or Sofia. My guess by the middle and towards the end of the book as to which sister it was was wrong. He gives hints as to who it might be as there are similarities between the two sisters. I enjoyed trying to figure it out.

I thought the story wasn't as exciting or action-packed as his previous books but he still kept me as interested as ever. I liked the introduction of Kate Brooks a new young lawyer who defends one of the sisters after stealing the client from her firm and creepy, misogynist pig of a boss Levy. I loved how she got her revenge on him in the very last chapter. It was super sweet and had me laughing and smiling while reading it. Levy is more of a perverted creep than I imagined. OMG.

As I said there wasn't as much action within the story as in his previous books so I was expecting some kind of big twist or some revelation in the end. Which is what I got. He had me fooled as to which sister was the murderer as did the sister fool Eddie and Kate and everyone else in the courtroom.
