Review: Fifty-Fifty

Fifty-Fifty by Steve Cavanagh
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow, Mr. Cavanagh sure can keep you at the edge of your seat feverishly reading until the very end. I had never read such twisty books until I hooked up with this author.

This book deals with sisters who hated their father. One day, the father turns up murdered horribly, and both sisters happen to be on the property calling 911 about it at the same time. Now, which sister committed the murder?

This author is so good that I never suspected anything like how this book ended.

This whole series is not yet out in re-print for the US, but little by little, it is being republished with at least one book free to borrow on Kindle Unlimited. You will have no problems  (at least not too many) by reading these out of order. That's what happened to me. I read the last published first and then turned around and started at the beginning with what I could get.

This is a perfect book for book clubs that want to investigate the darker side of the law and lawyers.

*The ARC was supplied by the publisher Atria Books, the author, and NetGalley. This book should be hitting the stores on June 03, 2025, with the next book, "The Devil's Advocate," coming out on August 05, 2025.

SYNOPSIS: "Two sisters on trial for murder. They accuse each other. Who do you believe? From Steve Cavanagh, the “wickedly clever” (The New York Times) master of twisty psychological thrillers.

“911 what’s your emergency?”

“My dad’s dead. My sister Sofia killed him. She’s still in the house. Please send help.”

“My dad’s dead. My sister Alexandra killed him. She’s still in the house. Please send help.”

One of them is a liar and a killer.

But which one?"
