My Thoughts:
I’ve been loving the Eddie Flynn series since I listened to the prequel last year and then jumped right into Two Kinds of Stranger (book 9) because I had a review copy. After finishing I went back to the beginning and have been listening to the audios.
 
I haven’t read book 3 because you can’t get it here in the US (same with book 7, The Accomplice). My daughter bought a paperback copy of The Liar and The Accomplice from the UK and read them and passed them onto me, but I’m partial to listening to the books because Adam Sims is the perfect Eddie Flynn to me! I just found out book 3, The Liar, and book 7, The Accomplice, are coming out in audio June 2027!
 
At any rate, I haven’t talked about Fifty-Fifty yet, but it was amazing! My husband and I listened to it last week while on vacation and finished it on our car ride back home.
 
Sophia and Alexandra Avellino, two sisters, each claim the other murdered their father. It’s a gruesome scene and the guilty person is definitely unhinged, but which one is telling the truth? Eddie represents Sophia, who he believes is the innocent one and a new defense attorney, Kate, represents the Alexandra in a joint trial. Several murders and twists! I was riveted!
 
If you haven’t tried this series, you are missing out!

5 Stars


Book Description:

Alexandra Avellino has just found her father's mutilated body, and needs the police right away. She believes her sister killed him, and that she is still in the house with a knife.

Sofia Avellino has just found her father's mutilated body and needs the police right away. She believes her sister, Alexandra did it, and that she is still in the house, locked in the bathroom.

Both women are to go on trial at the same time. A joint trial in front of one jury.

But one of these women is lying. One of them is a murderer. Sitting in a jail cell, about to go on trial with her sister for murder, you might think that this is the last place she expected to be.

You'd be wrong.

  4. Oh, a five! I'm used to see you rate most books 4 stars, so this one must be special. It's got a fun (if gruesome) premise for sure...and I'm smelling unreliable narrator(s) here...

  5. This is Mary Kirkland, for some reason Google won't let me sign in right now. This sounds good and it's an author I haven't read.

  6. Just the way you describe your excitement to listen to this series has me interested to add it to my list and wow, sisters thinking each other guilty of murdering their dad is a shocker.
